Here are just a few of the projects and challenges we are proud to share with you
World Cup of Creativity Challenge
One World. One Ball. One Creative Voice.
Global Lighthouse Studios invites students, educators, artists, and young creators from around the world to join the World Cup of Creativity Challenge—a free global celebration of art, culture, and connection inspired by the excitement of the FIFA World Cup.
This challenge encourages participants to explore the question:
"What does the World Cup mean to my community?"
Students may respond through artwork, music, poetry, photography, spoken word, dance, digital media, dream jersey designs, or even a vision for a Future World Cup City. Whether working individually or as a class, participants are encouraged to share their unique stories, traditions, and perspectives through creative expression.
Pass the Ball Around the World
As a special collaborative component, classrooms are invited to submit a 10-second video clip of students passing a soccer ball off-screen. Global Lighthouse Studios will combine clips from participating schools around the world into one global video, creating the illusion of a soccer ball traveling across continents and connecting young people through creativity, teamwork, and friendship.
Why Participate?
The World Cup is more than a sporting event—it is a celebration of culture, diversity, hope, and human connection. Through this challenge, students will discover how the arts can bring people together, amplify youth voices, and foster understanding across borders.
