A year ago, the second RFK Human Rights Short Film Competition was launched on the issue of climate change and human rights. Climate change seems to have been somewhat forgotten since the Corona pandemic, and in the face of the war in Ukraine, we seem to be preoccupied with other existential needs for the time being. However, we must not forget that climate change is about to become a big wave that hits the world. That's why a year ago we asked young people to think creatively about climate change and human rights and to present their views and ideas to us in a short film. We received films not only from Switzerland, but also from Bosnia, India, Japan and Canada. On 2 April 2022, the best two films in the two age categories 1995-2004 and 2005-2009 were awarded prizes.
The winners are:

2. Place: Lend an idea… von Karla Lamesic (Schweiz)
Winners age category 2005-2009
