Join the Young Farmers Dance Challenge and get a chance to win a grant of USD 1,000!
We are inviting youth members of farmers organizations under the AFOSP-MTCP and APFP platform to join the Young Farmers Dance Challenge.
This dance contest aims to:
- Attract young people to join Farmers Organizations
- Build friendship and cooperation among young farmers
- Raise awareness about young farmers contribution in preventing the spread of COVID19 as well as their contribution in the recovery from the pandemic
WHO CAN JOIN
- Young farmers (15 to 40 years old)
- Member of any of the farmers’ groups within the AFOSP-MTCP2 or APFP farmers’ organization partners (as certified by NFO and NIA)
HOW TO JOIN
- Form a group of 5 to 10 young farmers–can be a mixture of women and men or can be all male or all female.
- Take a video of your group dancing. You can perform any popular dance (e.g. Fight Song Frontliner Dance Challenger or IFAD’s Dance for Change) or create your own dance routine with your own music.
- The music and dance steps must show gestures that appreciate smallholder farmers as food heroes and food frontliners amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The dance performance may also depict gestures that raise awareness on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19 e.g. hand-washing, social distancing, etc.
- For areas that require wearing a face mask and/or face shield, participants must wear these during their performance to adhere to the health protocol.
- The video must be 60 seconds. This includes a short introduction of the group and what agribusiness they want to do if they win. If the spoken language in the introduction is not in English, it must include an English subtitle or voice over. If the video exceeds 60 seconds, it will be cut by the APFP RIA team to meet the specified duration.
- Email your video entries to afairish@asianfarmers.org and afahana@asianfarmers.org.
