worldwide narrative contest during a presentation at ARTS/West at 3pm on
Sunday, May 19. The event will be preceded at 1pm by a panel
discussion focusing on the
ideas generated by youths in their contest submissions. The awards
presentation will feature a brief introductory film and performances by
the Athens Irish Dancers. Ohio University graduate music student, Isaac

A diverse group of Athens County youths submitted entries in this year’s
Global Dialogues contest. Entries came from students at Hocking
College, Ohio University, an Athens-based women’s recovery organization,
and from youth in the general public. This year’s
contest topics included violence and HIV/AIDS sexuality. A jury
has chosen twenty entries as local winners. These twenty will now go on
to a jury at the international level. Winners of the international
contest have the opportunity to be made into films
by some of the world’s top cinema talent. Global Dialogues films are
available for viewing or download in 27 languages at the Global
Dialogues YouTube channel:
