2015 Worldwide UNESCO Club Youth Multimedia Competition - "The Year of Light"
We invited Youth around the world to take part in the 2015 UNESCO Youth Worldwide Multimedia Competition.
The “Year of Light” focuses on the topic of light and light sciences and its applications; but it is the human curiosity that underlines the vision which brings light to the hearts of humanity. What kind of light-based innovation would you propose to promote sustainable development and meet the needs of a global challenge such as energy, education, agriculture, or health?
You were encouraged to respond by making a 3-minute video, multimedia presentation, written essay, art work or using any method that channeled their specific passion and talent to share your answer to the question.
