Young people are on the move in search of work more than ever before. Today, about 30 per cent of the

world’s international migrants are young women and men between the ages of 15-24. Yet, very little is known

about the opportunities and struggles facing young migrants in a globalized world. Together, let’s put the

spotlight on the plight of young women and men on the move!

About the Contest

To enter the video contest, send us your video (of maximum five minutes) showing how you make a difference

in the lives of young migrants.

The jury will select one winner who thinks best show decent work for young migrants.

On 12 August, which is International Youth Day, the winner will be invited to take part in a panel discussion, to

be held in New York. The ILO will cover all your travel costs.

This contest presents a unique opportunity for all of us to give a voice to young migrants and meet leaders

engaged in shaping the future of our societies. The jury aims to recognize and shed light on outstanding

freedom of expression by people who actively promote decent work for young migrants.

The contest is organized as part of the knowledge management facility on youth employment and migration

that is sponsored by Spain’s Millennium Development Goals Achievement Fund (MDG-F) and managed by the

ILO.
