SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Overall goal
The One World Filmclubs are an Austria-wide participative project for young people between the ages of 14 and 19 who want to explore the medium of film with questions of the globalized world.

The aim of the One World Filmclubs is to engage young people in self-organized local One World film clubs with basic issues of global development, global contexts, human rights, migration and flight, gender equality, adolescents lives in other countries, responsible consumption, the environment, decent working conditions, social inequality and global sustainable development. The project promotes critical reflection among young people and encourages them to get involved.
