VIDEO MANIFESTO OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE AUDIOVISUAL TRAINING COURSES FOR YOUNG AND MARGINALISED YOUNG PEOPLE. WE AIM TO EMPOWER THEM WITH SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES IN THEIR LIVES. THROUGH TRAINING AND EDUCATION IT HOPES TO GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE A CHANCE TO FIND ALTERNATIVES OF A BETTER FUTURE. OUR FIRST PROJECT PRIORITISES YOUNG PEOPLE, WHO LIVE IN THE SHANTYTOWNS OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE FAILURE OF THE STATE TO ESTABLISH ITSELF IN RIO-ÇÖS POOREST COMMUNITIES HAS ALLOWED DRUG GANGS TO TAKE OVER THE SLUMS. IN THE POOR COMMUNITIES OF BRAZIL WHEN KIDS REACH 18 YEARS OLD EDUCATION PROGRAMMES PROVIDED BY THE CHARITIES NORMALLY REACH THE END. THE MARKET IS VERY COMPETITIVE FOR THOSE WITH QUALIFICATIONS. WITHOUT ANY QUALIFICATIONS IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A DECENT JOB. IN MAJORITY OF THE CASES CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS FIND THEMSELVES WITHOUT ANY SKILLS OR QUALIFICATIONS AND NOWHERE TO TURN. THAT-ÇÖS WHEN THEY LOOK FOR EMPLOYMENT WITH DRUG FACTIONS AS ARMED FOOT SOLDIERS, LOOKOUTS AND DRUG SELLERS. VIDEO MANIFESTO, BASED IN LONDON, WILL CONCENTRATE ITS GRANT MAKING ON THREE GOAL AREAS: -Çó TO ASSURE THAT ALL YOUTHS RESIDENT IN THE SLUMS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE COURSES FREE OF CHARGE; -Çó TO DEVELOP SKILLS AND PREPARE THEM TO PURSUE A PROFESSION TO HELP THEIR START IN LIFE WITH A DESCENT SALARY -Çó TO REDUCE THE PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC HARM CAUSED BY DRUG GANGS YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE SLUMS MUST HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A SUCCESSFUL START IN EDUCATION REGARDLESS OF AGE, RACE, GENDER, FAMILY COMPOSITION, INCOME OR COMMUNITY. IN RESPONSE TO THIS SIGNIFICANT DISPARITY, VIDEO MANIFESTO WILL BE CREATED TO PROVIDE THE AUDIOVISUAL PROGRAM NECESSARY FOR MARGINALIZED YOUNG PEOPLE TO HAVE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. THROUGH WORK THEY WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A DECENT LIVELIHOOD AND DEVELOP THEIR FULL POTENTIAL OUT OF POVERTY.
