On 15 September the “Youth on the Move” initiative will be adopted by the European Commission. The initiative will promote the mobility of students and trainees and improve the employment situation of young people. It will define what needs to be done at EU level to unleash the potential of young people to achieve smart, inclusive and sustainable growth in the EU.

The purpose of the World Online Survey is to identify the opinions and suggestions of young people worldwide regarding the challenges and actions that governments, civil society organisations, international cooperations, the private sector and society as a whole can undertake to change the current situation faced by youth in the areas of poverty, education, information and communication technologies, health, gender equality, human security, human rights, sustainable development, international migration, citizens’ participation and advocacy, and global partnership and cooperation.

Students in the early stages of their career, or an established professional, can now get the chance to test their filmmaking skills and join the competition. They just need to make sure their tiny film is hugely distinctive, imaginative and engaging whatever their budget or genre.

Graphic arts students and creative individuals, living in any of the EU Member States, are invited to join this competition and show their talents. They will have to create a logo for the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), the agency that supports EU Institutions and Member States in promoting gender equality, fighting discrimination based on sex and raising awareness about gender issues.

Any non-professional video-maker, photographer or visually-minded person in Europe between 15 and 30 years of age can take part in this competition. You can join it individually or in a team of up to 4 people.
