OneMinutesJr workshop in Ukraine on disabilities

As part of the International Integrational Youth Forum, UNICEF supported a OneMinutesJr video workshop from September 17-21, 2007. 15 teenagers, both with and without disabilities, wrote their own scripts and produced their own 60-second films over the course of the 5-day workshop.

The Forum and the workshop took place in the Ukrainian National Paralympics Base in Yevpatoriya on the Black Sea coast of the Crimean. Looking at their own special needs or those of their peers, the young filmmakers produced a series of stunning videos that will be used to raise awareness for young people with disabilities.

Violence through the eyes of teenagers

"What does violence look like? what does violence feel like? and how do we show it in a minute?" - These questions were on the minds of 21 teenagers from Albania. They have met in the Marubi Film School to produce oneminuteJr. films on different forms of violence against children. Supported by UNICEF Albania, the teenagers and their trainers spent five days writing, filming and editing their stories.
