Youth Connect, an Irish Congress of Trade Unions / Irish Second-Level Students' Union initiative, invites all second level and Youthreach students to take part in its video competition. Students must work in teams of two - four people to create a three minute video about safe and healthy workplaces in the context of Decent Work.
Each team and their classmates will then be invited to an Oscar-style Youth for Decent Work Award ceremony in the Savoy Cinema in Dublin in March. All shortlisted videos will be shown on the big screen and the winning team will be announced.
The top prize is a fantastic 5 day trip to New York for the winning team and their teacher.
Youth Connect is asking students to consider the importance of a safe and healthy workplace in the context of the Decent Work framework, what it means to students and workers and its importance to wider society. They also want teams to portray their understanding of the role for trade unions in achieving Decent Work and helping to keep our workplaces safe and healthy for everyone.
All teams must register their interest in the competition by November 19th, 2015.
