Students are invited to submit a short video
Can you change the world in one minute? We believe you can! Cyber Justice in partnership with Videos for Change facilitates an opportunity for middle and high school students from across the globe to create one-minute videos about social issues that they are passionate about, with the goal of inspiring others to take action.
Cyber Justice is an internship offered to middle and high school students from across the world with a variety of tech skills and abilities, but all with a desire to learn even more. We bring social justice advocates, tech leaders, and art visionaries together to present an array of information to participants which will culminate in them producing self-guided media projects around the issues that are important to them.
The intent is for participants to walk away with an understanding of what social justice issues impact them and their communities, a set of skills on how to organize and uplift those issues to a larger audience, and projects that they will be able to present to a larger audience. Once a week we have“issue presentations” where they will hear from community members allowing them to get a larger understanding of Specific Issues that impact their world. The program provides participants the opportunity to actively engage in increasing the profile of issues Children face in school and community.
