My AYV story

As I participated in AYV, we got the two ideas in my heart.
One is- I found a big difference between the media works for AYV and my media works as a hobby. Because AYV works are seen by people around the world. I learned in AYV work, it is very important for me to consider in position of the viewer. For example, I began to make the media under the point of view that no one feels discomfort. That means such as, when people in poor countries and region see, they don’t think that people in rich countries boast their life. In making story, NO Racism, NO Sexism, NO Religious discrimination and Using to create fun picture and simple English for Parents and children.
Another is: I found "another me" by myself as I was in charge of workshop leader of AYV Japan. I am sure that the most important thing for youth to make a good Media is the teamwork, NOT technology and NOT knowledge.
Those are: Youth is Always together, NO lonely. Playing ICE-break and be friends. Taking the individual skill from each youth and Making use of them. Having a fun them anytime. Giving comments is 70% for good point, 30% for bad point.
AND
Enjoying myself, it is the huge thing in my heart.
Now, I want to look back my AYV history. I have participated in the AYV program in 2013 when I was high school student, because teacher told me about AYV program in the computer class. He said the AYV program is to send my voice to all over the world by making MEDIA and I'm good at creating it.
At first I knew about AYV program only a little. However in the process to create media, I have learned a lot of things, getting more skill of PC and software, copyright knowledge and so on. And then I have helped my classmate with skill and Knowledge, they always became to ask me in high school.
Also when I joined some workshop of AYV Japan, I have been creating the media with youth from all over Japan. And so we can share the skill and Knowledge each other anytime. One day I was elected leader, I did MC of workshop and I had youth co-work together there and my world was wider than my past. Finally I found the true purpose of AYV.
If did not join AYV, I can’t believe that I entered the English world and participate in 2015 Brazil iEARN summit and make a lot of friends and communicate through all over the world.
That’s a fact I was changed by AYV program.
I love my media pieces for AYV: “First Magic of a Fresh Witch”
