The Kaleidoscope Real World Video Challenge was a national video contest for youth. Youth ages 8-18 across Canada were invited to submit a video less than five minutes in length to the Kaleidoscope Real World Video Challenge on one of the Millennium Development Goals. The first place regional winners in each age category received a video camera or $1000 prize. National winners will be present in Ottawa to show their videos.

"Kaleidoscope has been remarkably popular with nearly 100 videos received nationwide," says Brie Rehbein, Project Coordinator. "Entries covered diverse topics from gender equality to universal education, attesting that Canadian youth are actively thinking about and involved in global issues."

Claymation Workshop:

As part of Kaleidoscope Real World Video Challenge, Reel Youth in partnership with BCCIC hosted a free claymation workshop for children aged 8-12, on February 29th, 2008. The children explored stop-motion animation and learned to make short animations about their visions for a better world. Kaleidoscope also facilitated workshops from Victoria to Kelowna.

BCCIC collaborated with REEL Youth, on creating claymation films on the Millennium Development Goals. REEL youth facilitated two workshops; one with kids from 8 – 12 years old at Sundance Elementary School in Victoria and another one with the same age group of kids in Vancouver.
