Young Digital Creators: a web-based initiative that invites young 
people of different cultures to express their creative minds and 
connect with each other in exploring issues of our society.  

YDC project is a UNESCO web-based project that allows young 
participants of different cultures to gradually construct, through a 
collaborative process and creative digital tools, a deeper 
understanding of each other’s cultural values, special reflections 
and general concerns related to major issues of our time: Water, 
HIV/AIDS, Urbanization, Linguistic diversity, and the History of 
Africa.  Using creative artistic software with an open 
interdisciplinary approach to knowledge, young people will be able to 
create a series of textual, musical, visual or/and multimedia 
materials (in progress creative works).  The creation of digital art 
works will be synchronized with on-line discussion forums of 
exchanging views.  Virtual and live exhibitions, concerts are also to 
be organized in line with the programmes. YDC programme is to be 
launched in an experimental basis in October 2003.
