Youth Activities

The Lions Club International Peace Poster Contest is a global initiative that inspires young people to express their visions of peace through art. Each year, students aged 11-13 are invited to create original posters that reflect the annual theme. This contest not only nurtures creativity but also fosters a deeper understanding of the importance of peace in our world.

Why It Matters:

The Peace Poster Contest empowers young minds to envision a harmonious future while promoting important conversations about peace within families, schools, and communities. By participating, students gain a platform to share their unique perspectives and contribute to a global dialogue on peace.

The ROAR ideas competition is an exciting initiative that empowers primary school students (ages 7–11) to unleash their creativity and develop world-changing ideas. Developed in partnership with 8billionideas, an award-winning education company, and supported by Lions Club International, this national program encourages children to think big, dream big, and believe in their potential to make a difference.

Why It Matters:

ROAR is more than just a competition—it’s a fun, hands-on learning experience that builds confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. By challenging students to imagine innovative solutions, ROAR helps them see how their ideas can have a real impact.

✅Encourages creativity & critical thinking.
✅Supports school curriculums (literacy, STEM, PSHE, and citizenship).
✅Teacher-friendly with ready-made lesson plans—no extra workload!
✅A chance to shine! Winning ideas progress to the UK Lions District Finals and beyond.

How It Works:

🔵Schools join in during the autumn term to develop and pitch their ideas.
🟡Each school holds a final to select their winning entry.
🔵The best ideas advance to the Lions South-Central District Finals.
🟡The top entries showcased at the National Awards Day in December.
