Rising Voices series live on ViewChange.org

I would like to bring to your attention a series of UNICEF documentaries on Child-Friendly Schools called Rising Voices.

This series features six documentary films focusing on the personal stories of students in different countries and contexts in which child-friendly school policies are being implemented. The individual films were shot across the world, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Egypt, Ghana, Nicaragua and the Sudan. The purpose of the series is to show the depth and breadth of the impact of child-friendly schools, as they have spread across 90 countries since their inception.

Among other distributors, we have been working with Link TV, who has just today launched ViewChange.org - the next generation Web site that uses the power of video to tell stories about real people and progress in global development. ViewChange.org features the entire Rising Voices series.

Please watch the Rising Voices series, post comments, and with one click, share it through 306 different networks, from Facebook to Digg to Twitter.

For more information on child-friendly schools and for short two minute advocacy videos based on this series, please visit UNICEF's child-friendly schools portal: http://www.unicef.org/cfs/index_94.htm
