Objectives

The primary aim of the project was to educate youth workers in video production and editing, equipping them with the necessary skills to produce professional video content using equipment they already have. These skills will help them produce results that have a significant social impact, can directly address the focus group of their choice and henceforth, benefit both them and the NGOs in which they are employed, by attracting partners and volunteers and generating interest through high quality video productions. Based on the project “See Me Through” and upon communication with the partners after the project’s completion, all parties have identified that video production, albeit an extremely beneficial means for NGOs and youth workers wishing to promote their work, but lacking the competencies to do so effectively. A survey produced in the context of the “Do_cument It Yourself” project, specifically highlights the lack of video-creating competencies, digital software skills and oversight of the significance these means have in making a social impact. As such, the objectives of the project was identified as follows, to address these issues: - Enhance youth workers and NGOs' understanding of media and the process of promoting targeted messages via social networks, these being a popular communication tool for young people today - Train 32 youth workers to create professional, quality social promotional videos, while developing their digital competences - Support Youth Workers, NGOs, social initiatives to express their message more clearly (youth, youth workers, partners, stakeholders) - Prove in practice that quality videos with social impact can be made with minimal equipment (guerilla ways) - Create 5 social promotion videos for 5 local German not for profit organizations/initiatives (5 additional videos in relation to the SDGs were added during the course of the program) - Create at least 9 social promotion videos for partner organizations or organizations affiliated to them - Strengthen cooperation between partner organizations, and empower them to develop new projects focusing on enhancing media literacy among youth - Solidify 32 youth workers’ newfound skills in the form of Youthpass
