The Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) has launched the EAS Future Video Competition to showcase the understanding the youth have of their oceans, and highlight the creativity and firmness with which they can share their knowledge, understanding, plans, and dreams.
The videos can have any subject associated with the theme Coastal communities, life with the ocean. Examples might be best practices in the local area, the actions of local youth, and/or local issues or challenges. It should be a 3 to 5-minute video, created entirely from material filmed/created by youth.
PEMSEA, through the triennial EAS Congress Youth Forum, has offered the EAS region’s youth opportunity for participation in creative activities, workshops and discussions with experts, regarding coastal and marine concerns.
