Eden International Volunteers: Entries Extended to Nov 20, 2010

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the UN International Year of Volunteers (IYV +10), we are inviting volunteers and volunteer-involving organization to submit creative short (30-60 second) videos showing their visions for how to make the world a better place through volunteering.

The year 2011 will be the tenth anniversary of the UN International Year of Volunteers. Known as “IYV+10” the anniversary should be another important milestone in the development of global volunteering, and the international volunteer movement.

In the decade since the United Nations launched the International Year of Volunteers in 2001, at the global level, there have been a number of important advancements in the field of volunteerism: every one of the billions of people, who gives up their time to volunteer, becomes part of a grand movement that is much bigger than the sum of the parts.

To celebrate IYV+10, we are calling on young volunteers, or young volunteer teams, to create short films that advertise the tenth anniversary of the International Year of Volunteers. Your video can show your volunteer work, your motivations for volunteering, your hopes and visions for 2011, it can inspire other people to volunteer, or any number of other things.
