UNICEF: Teen Second Life videos promote child rights
NEW YORK, USA, 20 November 2007 -- To mark the 18th anniversary of the Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC), a group of teenage videographers has given an online screening of their short videos made in the virtual world of Teen Second Life. The children -- from Finland, the United Kingdom and the United States -- each made a one-minute video about child rights during a summer camp led by the New York-based non-profit Global Kids, with support from UNICEF. The five-week-long project, which all took place in Teen Second Life, began with two weeks of workshops on the CRC using information provided by UNICEF.
