Our Story

"A camera is send into the world with a question to young people, generating a chain of stories of youth. The interviewed becomes the interviewer as the camera is handed over after each interview."

Bubblebee is a journalistic experiment. We send a camera with a question into the world, without defining who answers this question, and when it gets back to us. It will be a chain of stories of youth, where the interviewed becomes the interviewer. The camera is handed over with each interview.
The project produces a wealth of inspiring stories, which are recorded on film and can be viewed via an online database on a website, which includes a map of these interviews and the journey of the camera. After one year, the most beautiful films are made into a documentary. Furthermore, the project offers an online platform for young people where they can meet and collaborate. Finally, we expect interesting results around the journalistic experiment, where not only the journalist is leading but also the interviewees.


The Impact

The aim of the project is to surface and elucidate a new emerging reality designed by creative young people. Bubblebee shares the ideas of young people about the future and give the voices of youth a platform. This platform will connect youth initiatives, generate power and inspiration for young world citizens and show, share and empower youth initiative.
At the launch at Initiative Forum in Sweden in April 2011 we will interview an inspiring young person. This story is recored on a camera, after which we upload this video to www.bubblebee.org. The camera is given to the interviewee, who then interviews a young person that inspires him or her. The recording and uploading is repeated, creating a chain of young people with their stories. This chain is made visible on an interactive website. The journey of the camera has started...
