Make Talk Work® International Video Competition
The City University of New York Dispute Resolution Consortium (CUNY DRC) at John Jay College of Criminal Justice-CUNY has launched an international competition for short videos of up to 60 seconds using any of the themes in the 24 Make Talk Work® bookmarks.
We need your help in distributing this announcement to as many individuals and groups as you can contact. Our goal is to get as many people as possible to participate in this exciting competition. Please tell family members, fellow employees, youth workers, school personnel, religious leaders, community boards, tenant associations, neighbors, among others. Post the announcement in libraries, stores, coffee shops, workplaces, bookstores, and any other place where you can leave it. If you need flyers or can suggest locations to post information, please email us at dispute[@]jjay.cuny.edu or call 212-237-8692.
This video project, which is funded by the JAMS Foundation, seeks to increase public awareness about dispute resolution. The bookmarks, also funded by the JAMS Foundation, were created by the CUNY DRC and dispute resolvers in New York City with images designed by Susan Spivack.
To see sample images of the bookmarks or to order them, click here .
The videos will demonstrate how universal messages about handling conflicts can be shared with people from all walks of life. Each of the 24 bookmarks, which must be used as the basis for this video competition, contains a message that can be visually illustrated through video.
