>UNESCO launches call for Feature Segment proposals for
>UN-Family "21st Century" News Magazine
>
>Within the framework of its project "Harnessing ICT for
>the audiovisual industry and public service broadcasting
>in developing countries", and in collaboration with the
>United Nations Department of Public Information (UNDPI)
>and the UN family, UNESCO is launching a call for Feature
>Segment proposals for a series of production grants.
>The selected segments will be produced, incorporated into
>a 12-episode news magazine, “21st Century”, and distributed
>to broadcasters worldwide.
>
>This project aims at putting ICT to the use of media content
>development on major societal and development issues such as
>human rights, peace, tolerance and the fight against
>discrimination by providing developing countries with
>training, production and distribution opportunities in
>these areas.
>
>The show consists of feature segments, most often 3 pieces
>per show, each an estimated six to eight minutes in length.
>The stories should deal with gripping human problems that
>have not been widely reported. The programme will feature
>character-driven, human interest stories that reflect some
>of the most important issues affecting the world, and our
>lives, today. Balanced thematically and geographically,
>each episode will reflect UN priorities for the new millennium.
>
>Stories should be targeted to all publics and aim at increasing
>understanding of the development and societal issues identified
>as priority fields by UNESCO, namely:
>
>* Millennium Development Goals, particularly poverty-alleviation,
>basic education, gender equality and women empowerment;
>* Human Rights;
>* Peace and Tolerance;
>* Fight against discrimination, based on race, gender or other
>issues (e.g. HIV status);
>* Freedom of Expression;
>* Intercultural communication and cultural diversity.
