How to participate

To enter the Competition all you need to do is record a video diary of up to 15 seconds in vertical format spanning seven days. The video should show one to two seconds per day and depict social rights, or the lack of social rights, around you.

To reach the widest possible audience, we encourage you to make greater use of pictures and images, and to rely less on speech. Show, don’t tell, is the golden rule!

Then you need to post your video on your Facebook public account. In the caption, you should describe the content of your video. The deadline for the entries has been extended until 19 December.

Remember to follow and tag @socialeurope Facebook page and use the hashtag #MySocialRights. Read the competition rules here.

Background

With the European Pillar of Social Rights, the European Commission aims to build a fairer and more inclusive European Union.

The 20 principles of the Pillar show the way towards a strong social Europe that is fair, inclusive and full of opportunity.

To help turn the principles into reality, the Commission is working to engage Europeans on social issues and increase awareness of social Europe.

In line with these goals, the #MySocialRights video competition aims to launch a conversation on social Europe and the European Pillar of Social Rights with the general public.

Specifically, it aims to promote social Europe and social rights among young people across the EU, increasing their awareness on social issues through their creative inputs, and engaging them on EU topics, including social affairs and the future of Europe
