UN Women invites proposals to make films on Second Chance Education and Vocational Training Program

The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) plans to hire the services of an agency for Short films on the Second Chance Education and Vocational Training Programme

Second Chance Education

The Second Chance Education and Vocational Learning (SCE) Programme aims to break current trends and provide a comprehensive solution for marginalized women and young women who have missed out on education and who are at risk of being left behind. Despite the scale of the global education challenge faced by marginalized women and girls, there is not yet a proven approach to enabling successful second chance education at scale. This project aims to develop context specific, affordable and scalable learning, entrepreneurship and employment pathways for empowering the world’s most disadvantaged women and young women. It offers women and young women, their families, local communities and societies the benefits of access to educational services which are tailored not only to their needs as learners, but also to their future as earners.

Purpose

A) 1 Short programme film: 2 – 3 minutes
The main purpose of developing film and is to generate awareness on the fact that women and young women may have lost their chance to be in school/university, and/or may not have had the chance to enhance their skills through vocational training due to multiple and intersectional burdens women and girls face. The video should also highlight the challenges women face in accessing educational/skilling/employment opportunities because of discriminatory gender norms and roles. The video should bring to fore how these issues not only limit women’s workforce participation but also negatively impact the economy. The video will need to target both the need to change behaviour/institutions, and policy.
