Monday, 22 April. It seemed to be
like an another normal day. Another calm day in our Rustavi. In one moment
everything changed. With the arrival of the French volunteer, cameraman Clément, who came up with
the idea to shoot a video for
The European Voluntary Service Film Festival organized by the French National Agency. As
2013 is the ‘European Year of Citizens’ young
people got opportunity to share their
vision of citizenship and exchange view
points on civic engagement.
So, what is your idea about
citizenship? What exactly citizenship means for you? From the small play with
words volunteers from GYE created the
name of their video: CitizenSHEEP. Bee-e (or me-e)? Now just to find a costume of the sheep, get the main actors, take a couple of shots and
create a final video … and our own big georgian contest can start!!!
The competition deadline was set for Monday, 22nd of April, midnight of the Central European Time. On Saturday, when the video was recorded on the internet, nobody believed that we can find more than 700 votes in two days. We tried to make the best, but still it seemed that there is no possibility to overtake Hungarian video which was on the first positon. In about six o'clock this video disappeared from web pages with unclear reasons. It was the real beginning of the competition!!! Almost all GYE members began bombing their FB contacts with the link of that glorious video:
