A Vision
A Vision is a global literary magazine that teaches tolerance and mutual understanding. It is an anthology of students’ writings on various literary genres- essays, stories, poems, and poetical sketches, which aims to showcase the youth’s thoughts, viewpoints and insights of the things around them and even across borders, regardless of cultural and racial diversity.
Its purpose is to use the art and the medium of creative writing to demonstrate that despite differences, teenagers around the world share the same interests and concerns. This magazine is dedicated to a vision of cooperation and friendship among the people and governments of the world, and to the myriad of personal visions that make us all human.
The project is facilitated by the A Vision 2008 Team from the Philippines. For four consecutive years now, the magazine has been published by the Makati Science High School in the Philippines. This project received an award from Columbia University for Best High School Publication in the United States two years in a row.
A Vision is produced, not merely by the students directly involved in the project, but by everybody who contributes pieces of writing or art and is not afraid to share his/her opinion about the world today. A Vision is not only a magazine - it is a forum for sharing and learning!

“An Anthology of Creative Writings and Artworks is a project that intends to show more than just the artistic capability that the youth hold. Moreover, it intends to bring out a spring of emotions and ideas from young hearts and young minds. We, the student-facilitators, whole-heartedly welcome you all to our A Vision family. All of us have come to realize the beauty of writing through this project. We hope that others would, also.”

Introduction from the Project Facilitator
 Welcome to “A Vision 2008: An Anthology of Creative Writings and Artworks”! I am truly honored to share with you this literary anthology that reflects the students’ vision of the world through artworks, poetical sketches, prose, and poetry. This project serves as a gateway for the young writers in various parts of the world to bare their hearts, their souls, and their dreams.
I am overwhelmed with the participants’ creative ideas showcasing their writing and artistic talents that will certainly make the readers cry, smile, and ponder. These varied brilliant thoughts may just be the world’s longest monologues disguised in pretty coats that these young writers devised about themselves and about what they think, what they believe, and what they practice.
This telecollaborative project is undertaken by participating in the International Education And Resource Network (iEARN) global telecommunication network. A copy of this anthology is available for downloading in pdf and in html versions. See http://www.iearn.org/avision |
