The UNICEF Youth Mediathon is an online event that will give you the opportunity to improve your skills as a content creator, connect with other creatives, and develop content about the issues affecting young people today.
Hosted on October 23 and 24, this two-day Mediathon will involve young creators from around the world, who will work in online groups of 4-6 to execute one project per team – be it a podcast, a video series on social media, a suite of blogs, a comic strip, or a photo essay. Each team will work with a mentor under one of the proposed themes:
• Reimagining the Future of Work and Education
• Reimagining a More Sustainable World
• Reimagining the Future of Wellbeing
• Reimagining an Future Without Discrimination
Benefits
60 applicants will win the chance to:
• Attend digital workshops with top international partners;
• Receive mentorship from experienced professionals in your creative field;
• Team up with other young change makers from around the world;
• Have your work published on Voices of Youth and other leading content platforms.

• Pre-existing experience in content creation;
• Fluency in English or Spanish;
• An internet connection (as all of the sessions will be conducted remotely);
