about
oneminutes jr.

The oneminutesjr. is an international, arts-based initiative that gives 12-20 year-old youth, especially those who are underprivileged or marginalised, the opportunity to have their voices heard and to share their ideas, dreams, anxieties and opinions. The oneminutesjr. process equips young filmmakers with the fundamental skill of self-expression that is needed to participate fully in society.

The oneminutesjr. is truly an international intiative: since its inception in 2002, more than 2000 youngsters from 93 countries have taken part. The videos produced not only reflect personal dreams of the individuals, but also social issues and realities that face the youth, their communities and their society. Each video is a viewpoint on its culture and, in the larger picture, on the world.

The initiators are:
