This will make the world a better place. Thank You. #POSITIVE PEER PRESSURE'' The Global Dialogues Video Challenges are an innovative, intercreative approach to making short YouTube films on global social issues. Here's how it works: We produce the beginning of a short film and post it to YouTube. Then, young people across the world compete with one another by creating and uploading videos that continue and finish the story. Participants are asked to make videos that reflect their vision of a better world, helping characters in the film to find positive solutions to the problems they face.
