GLOBAL KIDS CRC SUMMER CAMP 2007
10 videos
In the summer of 2007, Unicef and Global Kids launched the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) Machinima Camp in the virtual world of Teen Second Life (TSL). Teens from around the world gathered together for five weeks to learn about children's rights, and produced ten 1-minute machinima films on rights they identified in the CRC. Each film is unique in its own way, we hope you enjoy them!
