Your World - Dstruct
Rotterdam European Youth Capital ‘09 started with an event called Create Your World.
During this two-day event on 24th and 25th of January 2009, 300 youngsters (from teens to young adults) got the chance to participate in a program during which they would discuss, pitch and develop their own dreams.
The theme of Create Your World was “Real life heroes”. Think political leaders, musicians, sports people, religious leaders, etc. People that made a change by living their dream.
Upon arrival, the youngsters were split up into groups. Each group had one of those heroes as a symbol.
The entrance was decorated with printed and audio quotes from the various heroes. When entering the main hall, they could see 180 panels; 150 blanks ones and 30 with a portrait of one of the heroes.
And you might have already guessed it: the blank ones would be filled with portraits of them! So just before entering the main hall, they had to get their picture taken. All 150 of them, in a 45 minute time window. After shooting the portraits, the pictures were sent to a DTP team who processed them and then handed the results over to the print team. They in turn filled in the blank panels with the prints of all the participants.
When the youngsters returned to the main hall later in the day, towards the end of the program, you could see they were really surprised and overwhelmed!
