World AIDS Campaign: Participants for Youth Video Production Needed!

The World AIDS Campaign is producing a video about HIV and AIDS, human rights and young people as leaders. The concept for the video still needs to be decided. Since a video about young people should be made by young people themselves, WAC has created a blog (http://wacyouthvideo.wordpress.com) in which young people can:

- Brainstorm and decide the visual style and messages of the WAC video
and the best channels for distributing it
- Post their own short videos (made with cell phones) proposing concepts
for the WAC video
- Learn the basics of video making by discussing the cell phone videos
that everyone posts, and
- Agree upon the final concept for the WAC video.

Once the final concept is decided, the WAC video will be shot and produced by Brian Griffin, a filmmaker and a consultant on HIV and young people, and also the administrator of this blog.

We'd like to have the video finished by May, and so we are starting the blog this week. If you're interested in joining, send an email to wacyouthvideo@gmail.com with your full name, age, country and one or two sentences explaining why you want to participate in the WAC youth video project. Then you'll receive an invitation by email to join the blog.

It would be great if you can share this opportunity with your networks.

Thanks everyone!
