GLOBE Student Vloggers -- Applications Now Being Accepted for 2022/2023
Calling all GLOBE Students: The GLOBE Program is seeking the next cohort of 12 students (two from each GLOBE region) to volunteer as GLOBE Student Vloggers (GSVs). This position is competitive, and the deadline to apply is 01 March.
If you have been following along since Earth Day 2021, you will be familiar with Andrei, Lakshmi, Xavier, Sisanda, Hala, Renada, Carlos, Christine, Hannah, Johannes, Maia, and Juan, Marianela, and Lucio. These students were selected last year to be the first GLOBE Student Vloggers (GSV), and they have been creating weekly vlogs for everyone to enjoy. (To watch their episodes, click here.) However, the time has come to find our new cohort of student vloggers.
Those selected for the new cohort of vloggers will create vlog–style video content for the GLOBE YouTube channel, which will be shared across all GLOBE social media platforms. (Vlog-style videos are filmed in part selfie-style, and help to take viewers on a journey into the vloggers world – what they are doing, learning, and discovering.) In addition, the student vloggers will be invited to join the Student Experience of the virtual 2022 GLOBE Annual Meeting.
Requirements
To apply to be a GSV, you will need to be a current GLOBE student between the ages of 10 and 19 with the ability to effectively communicate in the English language. You will also need to commit to attending monthly tag ups, and create (filming and editing) four vlogs between April 2022 and April 2023 (with additional assignments monthly; the schedule and topics will be determined and assigned once the vloggers have been selected from each region).
If you are interested in applying, please complete the following three application tasks:
- Fill out and submit the application form
- Sign and email the following permission forms (https://bit.ly/2YpEuJP) to: globe.student.vloggers@gmail.com
- Film, edit, and submit (upload here) a short video in vlog-style (no longer than four minutes). This video must be filmed horizontally or in landscape view.
VERY IMPORTANT: In the video, take the time to properly introduce yourself, and answer all of the following questions (please be creative and descriptive; tell a story):
- What is it like where you live (environment, community, etc.)?
- How involved are you in doing GLOBE (either at school or on your own)?
- How does, or how has, The GLOBE Program affected your decision making in regards to our planet's climate?
The video is the main component of your application, and you will be rated on your filming and editing abilities, as well as on your story-telling and speaking ability and visual presence. Please: No music or text additions (text overlays, or subtitles); however, do demonstrate your abilities when it comes to transitions, visual inclusions (pop-ups, sliders, etc.), b-roll, and the pacing and flow of your footage. Filming "selfie-style" is more than welcome.
If you have any questions, please email us at: globe.student.vloggers@gmail.com
