Young Hearts Together—Bringing Light to Our World
Young Hearts Together—Bringing Light to Our World is an event for our youth, created by our youth. Like no other event ever sponsored by The Hearts Center, Young Hearts Together will be a paradigm-shifting experience for all because our young people are leading the way. See a vision for a beautiful tomorrow through their eyes.
Moving with the winds of the ageless Holy Spirit, our program is packed with fun, laughter, music and lively dialogue. Presentations by our youth cover such topics as sharing God’s light through photo and video, the spiritual side of relationships, and living successfully.
Our youth will be bringing their light to the world in more ways than one! As usual, this event will be audio and video broadcast. In addition, the youth will create YouTubes of each of our Q and A segments! In one Q and A, the youth will ask adults questions. In another the tables will be turned! In the final taping, all participants may share what they have learned about creating and sustaining fulfilling relationships with family, friends, and, of course, that special someone. So we’ll be videotaping ourselves videotaping all day Saturday! How cool.
Big news: The Contest. In addition to creating YouTubes of what is happening during our event, The Hearts Center and our youth are sponsoring a Youth YouTube Contest! This contest is for you if you are between 12 and 29. Here’s the deal:
- With one or more friends create a 10-minute or less YouTube that shares an uplifting, spiritual message a teen or twentyish person would enjoy, would really understand.
- It could be a skit, an interview, a panel discussion, a musical, a dance interpretation of an aspect of the spiritual path.
- You are doing more than entertaining. You are sharing what is real in you of your connection with the divine, with God.
- Save your video file as the title of it, including the name of a contact person from your group.
- In your email, list all who participated in making the video if you didn’t add credits to the end or beginning of the YouTube.
- Send your email with your video attachment to Mario at mariomeza@heartscenter.org by March 10th. That’s it from you!
- During the week before our event, a panel of judges of all ages, comprised of experts in the fields of video, drama, music and marketing, will review each submission.
- First, second and third-place winners will be announced on Sunday, March 20, the final day of our event.
- First place award: $ 150. Second place: $ 100. Third place: $ 50.
Happy video creating! And then, fly, drive, bus or railroad yourself to Chicago to be with us for Young Hearts Together, March 18-20!
