When Words Break Boundaries and Awaken Hope
There are evenings that mark a life, moments when the beauty of the place combines with the strength of commitments, moments when we realize that words have the power to change the world. The 4th writing competition "My Difference, My Strength" , organized by the association Aux Cœurs des Mots , offered Monaco an unforgettable interlude, mixing emotion, culture and solidarity.
