The 3rd Annual Youth Producing Change (YPC) World Premiere is coming up June 18-19 in New York City, and we would like to invite your youth to attend their special YOUTH MEDIA PRESS CONFERENCE.
This year’s Youth Producing Change program includes 11 incredible films made by teens across the globe who are exposing human rights crises (environment, poverty, right to education, LGBTQ, political asylum, etc.) in their own lives and producing real change. Several of these filmmakers will be traveling from Kenya, California, The United Kingdom, Texas and New York.
When: Friday, June 18th, 4.30pm-6.30pm
Where: Walter Reade Theater, 165 West 65th Street, Plaza Level (at Lincoln Center, between Broadway and Amsterdam)
What: Youth media producers from across NYC will have the opportunity to meet teen YOUTH PRODUCING CHANGE filmmakers from Kenya, UK/Afghanistan, Los Angeles and San Antonio. There will be chances to network, interview the filmmakers and have your youth share about their own experiences, projects and pursuits as they create their own media. *Snacks will be provided.
Prep: In advance of the press conference, we will send your group a DVD of all of the films, so your young people can be prepared and will have seen the films that we will speak about.
Up to 20 youth media press conference attendees will receive free tickets to stay for the evening screening and reception (7-9:30pm). SPACE IS LIMITED SO PLEASE RSVP ASAP to aminmas@hrw.org.
