Basketball for Pace and action on producing a infomercial clip

Please read the information about Basketball for Pace here.

Other initiatives in 2012 here.

An unusual fact in Kosovo is that more than half of the population are under the age of 25. This clearly tells us that if we are to make any changes, it has to be about that target group.

Being part of such a healthy puzzle as a youngster in Kosovo, we wanted to create something that is about us; that surrounds us on daily bases. Also the reason why we have chosen this video project is that this way of expressing oneself (few wording) grabs attention and helps viewers connect with the video. The young Kosovars respond to ethnic barriers with music, dancing and enthusiasm. Art, is the best way of communication and this a channel to get to the most hearts possible.

In spite of fact that these youngsters have a day fulfilled with various activities, they choose a date that they will go out and have fun. It is precisely that specific mind set; the one which we call ‘free of constraints’ is the reason why we wish to make this video reach a large audience; why we are putting our efforts in making this a success. In slow motion effect the video clip will show the co-existence of the minority groups, without the burden of the past that a Serb, Rome or a Bosnian might be carrying.  Through this video clip we will try to entice the young to love and co-exist among the different ethnicities.Our project in this educational advertisement/ video clip is to promote unity and peace in Kosovo. This video will entail main protagonists from different ethnicities who despite the harsh mentality and the many wars they have been through; they manage to have good relationships with one another

The main purpose of this project is awareness of the young people in Kosovo about the importance of tolerance, love and co- existence of different nationalities."
