Virtual video-making in Teen Second Life spreads the message on
child rights

*By Rachel Bonham Carter *

NEW YORK, USA, 20 November 2007 -- To mark the 18th anniversary of the
Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC), a group of teenage
videographers has given an online screening of their short videos made
in the virtual world of Teen Second Life.

The children -- from Finland, the United Kingdom and the United States
-- each made a one-minute video about child rights during a summer camp
led by the New York-based non-profit Global Kids, with support from UNICEF.

The five-week-long project, which all took place in Teen Second Life,
began with two weeks of workshops on the CRC using information provided
by UNICEF.
