Meet Lotin Peterson from Haiti, another young film maker who has taken part in PLURAL+. Watch his video here. What is your video about? I did my video about migration, diversity, social inclusion and identity. When I was making "WE ARE IMPORTANT IN THE WORLD", the message I wanted to convey, it’s no matter where you are, if you ask the question, if you are important in the world? No matter who you are, your social position, your country, your skin color, our difference does...

How Can we as Future Leaders from around the world make an impact? In the lives of others, war affects youth. I know this because in my own country of Liberia, we are a post war country. We need, especially youth, to be able to create an environment where war affected youth can be a part of this network for change. Many youth are getting involved in violence, drug addiction, and worst of all our young girls and becoming women prostitutes. Thank you. You are welcome to share y...

By Karen Cirillo, Executive Producer, Children's Broadcasting Initiatives,UNICEF I’ve been coordinating the global OneMinutesJr. initiative since 2007. The project is an arts-based video initiative that seeks to capture the voices and expressions of youth on issues and subjects important to them. These viewpoints are captured in one-minute videos that are then shared through a multitude of platforms. In the past six years with the OneMinutesJr., I have met over 450 differ...

We need your comments! Online safety has been a big topic this year on Voices of Youth - we've spoken to youth all around the world about it at events like the #BYND2015 summit in Costa Rica, and we've published several research reports about it. Earlier this year UNICEF and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) started working on a revised set of guidelines for the ICT/digital industry on how best to protect children's rights in the ICT/digital sphere. These g...

Katy Perry is the new face of UNICEF and rightly so. The woman is magnificent. You can just look at Katie and almost see the woman has a deep spirit, caring heart, beautiful mind, body of a goddess, and a heavenly soul. This actually reminds me of a star who also cared this much throughout his career and constantly invested his time, money, and emotion into 3rd world countries and charities his whole life. He even incorporated it into his music. Every where he went, this man wa...

Can we really have a better world tomorrow? Absolutely yes, but your help is needed. I was born and raised in the 20th Century. A century famous for its conflict, it is also a century that started many things to give us hope for a better world in the future. The movement towards universal human rights and advances in communication technology that brings us all closer together are just two of many in a developing new system for positive change. As a member of the current young...

What is your name and where are you from? Adelheid Sudibyo, from Taiwan What is your video about? My video is mainly about how we lack social inclusion, how we as a society still exclude those people who we think are different from our idea of ‘normal’. In this video, instead of focusing on the people who exclude, I focus on the people who feel excluded. Why did you make this video? What motivated you to make it? I made this video because I was inspired by my...
