The contest was open to UIC undergraduate students of any major, who were asked to respond to the following questions in either a video essay or blog:
What can we learn about ending the Cold War mindset from the reunification of Germany 25 years ago? Is such a mindset inevitable and inescapable? Or might we be able to avoid such a mindset in our foreign policy today? If so, how?
This video essay/blog contest asks you compare contemporary examples of new Cold Wars with the (apparent) end of the Cold War in Germany 25 year ago and relate what people and countries can do to make a difference today.
