Call open to students of 4th year of E.S.O., 1st and 2nd year of Batxillerat from all over the Valencian Community.

In the 14th Philosophy Olympics of the Valencian Community we propose the activity: "Philosophical photography". Its aim is to discover other creative ways of practising philosophical activity by encouraging reflection based on images. We live in a world of images, but do we know how to look, do we know how to provoke the gaze of others, do images make us think? The aim of this competition is to answer these and similar questions.

The question that will accompany the photograph will focus on the general theme of the Spanish Philosophy Olympics (OFE): What is leisure?, which can be approached from different perspectives of the students' choice.
