The OneMinutesJr foundation weeklong workshop with UNICEF Young People's Media Coordinator Chris Schuepp at Tumo Dilijan has resulted in 22 one minute videos: 10 from Tumo students and 12 from young people with special needs from Bridge of Hope NGO.
Participants were encouraged to speak their minds and voice their opinions on social inclusion and children's rights. The OneMinutesJr foundation trains young people to advocate for their rights through multimedia, for a diverse international audience. The young people engaged in networking, debates and discussions around the theme of social inclusion and how to bridge the gap between the media, arts and young people before embarking on the project.
The youngsters were taught to produce videos limited to one minute on issues of importance for them. The result is a series of videos conveying powerful messages on topics ranging from accessibility for people with special needs, to family, friends, hobbies, hopes, dreams and aspirations.
