What are we looking for?
We are looking for witty video clips to motivate for language learning. Let's turn the challenge into opportunities - for each of us.
Theme:
* Benefits of knowing foreign languages
and/or
* richness the diversity of languages represents
Express a clear message,
* easily understandable to a broad public with different backgrounds and mother tongues - without dubbing our subtitles
* understandable in itself - without further explanations
The video should
* attract the attention of the viewer
* motivate people to learn languages and /or
* raise interest in other people/cultures/languages
Duration: 60 to 90 seconds
And finally: Take a look from a new and fresh angle, surprise us. Make us curious. Make us longing for new languages and cultures. Use emotions and fun!
