Dear PeDAGoG members, Below is an interesting opportunity for early career scholars working in the Global South on transitions and transformative development. Best regards, Christoph ---------------------------------------- The Global Development Network (GDN) is partnering with the French Development Agency, AFD, to conduct an online video contest on key development transitions taking place across the globe. The videos will tell the story of these transitions through the eyes of young researchers working in the Global South – influence the debate on transitions globally. The videos will link deep local knowledge and perspectives to the public discourse on global development through a variety of subjects such as climate, energy, gender, governance and more. If you are up to 40 years old and are a researcher from the Global South, apply by 4 July 2021. Through a two-step competitive selection, the contest will shortlist up to 20 videos. Shortlisted applicants will receive structured feedback and support (from both communications experts and research staff) before they are invited to re-work and submit a final and longer version of their video. All shortlisted participants who go through the revision and resubmission will compete for monetary prizes worth EUR 6,000. A Jury of senior academics co-chaired by Thomas Mélonio (Executive Director of Innovation, Research, and Knowledge, French Development Agency) and Pierre Jacquet (President, Global Development Network) will assign prizes to the 3 top videos. Both winners and finalists will have a chance to take part in further audio-video productions by AFD and by GDN, with the potential of gaining global visibility.
