Videos made by children and youth - OneMinutesJr

The OneMinutesJr is a project supported by UNICEF and the European Cultural Foundation (ECF). It empowers and encourages young people (aged 12-20) in Europe and Central Asia to use their creativity in the production of one-minute videos.
The topics are chosen by the young filmmakers who are also the actors, directors and cameramen of the films. The films are produced at workshops held by UNICEF and the ECF or sent in to the project coordinators without prior notice. All films take part in the annual OneMinutesJr competition that awards the best films of the year in the open category “Best of the world” and the social inclusion category “Inside – Out”.

Violence has been a topic in a number of films produced in the two years the project has been running in the region (2003 and 2004). Here is a short selection of relevant films. You can also find online versions on the OneMinuteJr project website.

Human Rights Ombudsman of the Republic of Slovenia (VARUH-RS.SI)

In 2003 and 2004 the Ombudsman’s office ran an advertising campaign entitled ‘Children’s rights are the law!’, aimed at the promotion of children’s rights. Since the majority of violations of children’s rights are caused by adults, often the parents of children, adults were the target group of the campaign. The mass media enabled us free broadcasting of three television advertisements. The campaign began on 10 December 2003 – Human Rights Day – and was continuing also in 2004.

The strategy for the advertising campaign was devised in its entirety at the ombudsman’s office. In addition to the strategy we devised scenarios for individual advertisements, proposals and designs for the print advertisements. A good campaign depends on good knowledge of the target group. We have this knowledge thanks to the cases we deal with and our collaboration with various experts, practicians and NGOs. This is the advantage of an institution that works at both the concrete and general levels, since knowledge of concrete cases enables better knowledge of the target group and thus more effective promotion and education.
