This week, as part of the UN Global Festival of Action in Bonn, Germany, we’re thrilled to announce the second MY World 360° playlist—a collection of youth-produced immersive stories from around the world that spotlight issues most relevant to young people and their communities.
The release marks the first anniversary of the launch of MY World 360°, a partnership between United Nations SDG Action Campaign, Digital Promise Global, and Oculus, supporting young people worldwide to develop their digital skills, share their perspectives, and advance positive action toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In September 2018, the first MY World 360° playlist was screened at the UN General Assembly as part of the United Nations Virtual Reality program and presented virtually at the SDG Media Zone at the United Nations headquarters in New York City on the Global Day of Action.
This second MY World 360° playlist represents a broad range of creative responses, from a dramatic enactment of gender discrimination to an immersive journey from the farm to the table. Check out these youth-produced stories below, and join us in exploring how immersive storytelling can inspire action to build a better world for everyone.
