Hello, if you’re reading this, you are looking at our newly reviving project so thank you very much. We thought we ought to help explain what this project is all about so that you can all be aware of just how awesome you could help us make it!

The overall aim will be to have a fully working website that allows young people the world over to ask any question they can imagine about other people’s cultures. These questions will then be able to be answered by personal video responses from other young people. More than this, we aim to produce a project pack that can be used as a resource in youth groups, schools and organisations to facilitate much needed honest discussions about cultural differences. We want to give honesty a chance and let difficult questions be asked, discussed and responded to by the people they matter to the most – the next generation!

WELCOME TO STAGE ONE: THE PROJECT NAME!

We would like this project to have a name that reflects what it is aimed at doing and something that can attract people to engage with and take part in the project. We would like you to submit any suggestions that you have. Here are a few ideas to start off the discussion:

BREAKING THE BARRIER
CURIOUS ABOUT CULTURE
HONEST ANSWER

                     Only 40 more sun salutations to go….

After nearly three hours and 108 sun salutations we raised over £400 to start filming the GYVP in the UK. Thank you to all our sponsors and Yoga in Cheshire for holding the event.

The Global Youth Video Project has been run by volunteers using their own money for the last two years and now we’re pushing to raise funds to make the project bigger and better!

We’ve already raised £130 through a raffle supported by independent and fair trade business’s and now two of the trustees are doing a sponsored Yogathon to get better filming equipment so that we can improve the quality of the videos.

The Global Youth Video Project will be filming in the areas surrounding Leeds and Manchester in December 2013 with the funds we raise. If you are a group of young people or you want to get a group of young people involved in the project contact Kat Louis at kat.louis@btinternet.com.

We’ll keep you updated on our fundraising efforts and hope to bring you new footage soon!
