Go to theoneminutesjr site to see more: this dedicated site also allows those involved with the project to keep in touch.
theoneminutesjr network enables young people in difficult circumstances to have their voices heard and to share with the wider world their ideas, dreams, fascinations, anxieties, and viewpoints.
You might be a Roma teenager in Bulgaria or a young Moroccan living in Amsterdam. You could be passionate about anti-smoking or living conditions in today's big cities; or you might just want to look at beautiful wooden chairs in the snow.
All the videos - more than a thousand so far - are online at http://www.theoneminutesjr.org They are as diverse and colourful as their makers.
We promote theoneminutesjr through:
- theoneminutesjr website
- special junior categories in the annual One Minutes Festival
- workshops across and even beyond Europe (check the website for details)
- screenings at festivals
We are delighted to be working with a growing number of broadcast partners throughout Europe. They run special oneminutesjr workshops and screen the videos on television and also on their websites. Read more...
We are always looking for new partners to join us.
