| "The World in One Minute" event launched Wednesday by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) at the Shanghai Expo's UN Pavilion provided an insight into the lives, dreams, and views of children from around the world. The event has been organized to showcase how children have been empowered to express their views on important issues through media. |
聯合國兒童基金會周三在上海世博會聯合國館啟動了“世界一分鐘”全球視頻展映活動，呈現了來自世界各地兒童青少年的生活、夢想和觀點。此次活動旨在促進兒童參與媒介活動，表達其在重要議題上的看法。 |
| "Many people are not aware that children have the right to express their opinions on issues that affect them and these views should be given due weight in accordance with the age and maturity of the child," said Dr. Yin Yin Nwe, UNICEF Representative in China. "This right is guaranteed by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and we are excited to be able to inform the public at Expo about it through the fascinating medium of children's short films." |
“許多人并不知道兒童擁有在關乎自身利益的問題上表達意見的權利，根據其年齡及成熟度，這些意見的重要性應當得到相應考量。”聯合國兒童基金會駐華代表魏英瑛博士表示。“這一權利已被納入《兒童權利公約》以便得到保障。在上海世博會上，我們非常高興有機會利用展映兒童青少年拍攝制作的視頻短片這樣有趣的方式，讓公眾了解兒童的這項重要權利。” |
| The two-day event, with support from the One Minute Foundation in the Netherlands, presents several videos from the archives of the One Minutes Juniors project, an international initiative that gives 12-20 year-old youth, especially those who are underprivileged or marginalized, the opportunity to have their voices heard through short films. |
在荷蘭“一分鐘計劃”基金會的支持下，此次為期兩天的活動公開展映了來自“青少年一分鐘短片”項目的往屆系列短片作品。“青少年一分鐘短片”項目是一項國際性公益活動，旨在讓12—20歲的兒童青少年，尤其是處于弱勢和社會邊緣的群體，有機會通過拍攝視頻短片的形式讓自己的心聲得到傾聽。 |
| The videos screened at the event focused on the themes of "Better Cities, Better lives" and "My Life, My Dreams." The young film makers portrayed the experience of living in urban settings and documented a day in their own lives. Children's short videos from China Central Television (CCTV) Children's Channel will also be shown at "The World in One Minute" event. |
展映系列短片內容主要圍繞兩個主題，即“更美好的城市，更美好的生活”以及“我的生活，我的夢想”。各國的小導演們通過短片表現其在城市環境中生活的情況，并記錄下自己一天中的生活。中央電視臺少兒頻道《新聞袋袋褲》欄目制作的由兒童參與電視報道的節目也參加了展映。 |
| Aside from the video screening, "The World in One Minute" event also brings together professionals on children's rights, media experts, and children themselves to discuss media as an avenue for children to express their views on the issues affecting them. |
除了展映環節外，“世界一分鐘”活動還邀請兒童權利工作者、媒體專家和兒童代表們參與主題研討，重點關注兒童的參與權，就如何促進兒童正確使用媒介手段來表達自己的觀點等問題展開討論。 |
| During the discussions, child reporters from CCTV will share their experience presenting children's views through the mass media and how they themselves have benefitted from the participation. The two day event will also include what is sure to be a lively open dialogue called "Digital Media, Social Networking and Young People." |
在主題研討中，來自中央電視臺的小記者們將與來賓分享他們通過大眾傳媒表達兒童觀點的經驗和感受，以及他們如何在參與媒體的過程中自身也得到成長。此次為期兩天的活動中還將就“數字媒體、社會網絡與青少年參與”進行別開生面的公開討論。 |
| "When children have the opportunity to participate in the media in an authentic way everyone benefits," said Dale Rutstein, Chief of Communication for UNICEF China. "Adults gain insights into the world of children, children gain confidence while learning useful skills and important decisions affecting children can be enhanced." |
“讓兒童在實質意義上擁有參與媒體的機會將使我們每一個人受益。”聯合國兒童基金會駐中國辦事處新聞處處長戴爾?魯茨坦說。“這一活動可以讓成年人走進孩子們的世界，了解他們真正的看法；而孩子們在學習技能的過程中也增強了自信心，并推動了影響兒童自身利益的重要決策。” |
| UNICEF is currently working with CCTV to introduce the One Minutes Junior project in China next year. |
聯合國兒童基金會目前正在與中央電視臺開展合作，預計在明年將“青少年一分鐘短片”項目引入中國。
