Panasonic Corporation has announced that Montfort College of Thailand won the Grand Prix for its video Blind's Diary in the Panasonic Kid Witness News (KWN) Global Contest 2015.
The KWN programme honours the video works created by children every year. To produce videos, students choose a theme on their own and then handle all aspects of video-making, from planning and scripting to filming and editing. This year, 553 schools from 19 countries and regions participate in this programme. For the KWN Global Contest this year, the schools submitted five-minute videos themed about either ecology or communication.
The seven finalist videos focused on topics ranging from impact and interactions through social media, earthquake disasters, to interactions with family members and others. The Grand Prix winning video, which is based on a true story, portrays a visually impaired girl who attends a regular school. While worrying about burdening other students, she overcomes her struggles at school and eventually accepts her situation, which enables her to achieve academic results with her friends' support. The video conveys a strong message of mutual support to achieve dreams in a diverse society.
KWN is a hands-on video education programme that Panasonic operates as part of its efforts to support education. The company lends video cameras and other production equipment to elementary and middle schools participating in the program. Currently, some 5,000 children and teachers around the world are taking part in the programme. 2015 marks the first time KWN Global Contest Awards Ceremony has been held in Southeast Asia. The Singapore event was held on August 26.
