Youth Voices on China

Video Contest

The Youth Voices on China Video Contest was one of the 1990 Institute’s signature education initiatives to foster global awareness among young people and inspire them to start to think more broadly about U.S.-China relations. This program empowered youth, who are powerful agents of social change and our next generation of leaders, to put their creativity to work, find their voices, and make them heard. The videos also revealed how young people view the U.S. and China today – including their perceptions, possible stereotypes, and the issues that matter to them.

 

In this short video from the early days of the program, filmmaker and actress Joan Chen introduced the Youth Voices On China Video Contest, which asked youths around the world how China impacts their future. Joan Chen is a former head judge for this program.
