Guidelines for Digital Impact Video-stories
As a platform that brings together a wide variety of peacekeeping voices, Yntymak Week will use video-stories to demonstrate how peacebuilding initiatives have brought about changes on an individual, community, and national level.
Who can send impact video-stories?
- Any organization, group or individual who contributes to peace within one of four thematic areas of Yntymak Week: Effective Natural Resource Management and Climate Change Adaptation, Social Cohesion and Solidarity, Women’s Empowerment, and Fair and Responsive Governance.
