CEI 2021 Submission Guidelines

For CEI 2021, each delegation needs to ensure they submit the following:
-
Cultural Evening Video
-
Flag Ceremony Video
-
Project Presentation Video
-
Project Summary for Global Forum
-
Project Poster for Virtual Poster Exhibition
If your delegation is taking part of the 48 hour projects session instead of submitting a project in advance, then you must only submit number 1 & 2 of the above.
Tips, guidelines and the links to where these can be submitted can be found below.
Flag Ceremony Video

-
We are asking each delegation to recreate their flag in a creative way and record this on video to create a virtual “flag ceremony”
-
If your school has multiple delegations, you are welcome to create multiple flags but these must be condensed into the one video
-
This video should be a maximum of 2 minutes long, but we welcome shorter submissions too
-
If you cannot recreate your flag, recreate the name of your country in letters e.g. HONG KONG
-
Use trash, sweets, what you can find in nature, art, your bodies or anything you can think of to recreate your country's flag or name.
-

Deadline: 7th June
Cultural Perfomance

-
Every country should prepare 1 video of any performance that represents your culture (e.g. dances, orchestra, drama, poem, language, food, etc.).
-
The final product should be in a video format (e.g. M4A, MP4, MOV, AVI).
-
Maximum of 3 minutes long
-
If there are multiple schools per country, please try to coordinate and put your videos together in advance or we will only be able to play a short part of your video
-
We advise you do not use materials from others, but if you do, make sure you have their permission and avoid copyright infringement
-
We encourage you to also join us in your national dress on the “cultural” day of the conference - we want to see your selfies!

Projects

Project Presentations
-
Every delegation should prepare a project presentation where they showcase the environmental work they have undertaken
-
All projects must be presented in a prerecorded video to give more creative freedom and for technical purposes.
-
This video can be a recording of a powerpoint presentation, a video of your delegation presenting their project in a classroom, a film, a drama - however you think is the best way to present your project! Creativity is welcome!
-
Note: if you choose to do a 48 hour project, you do not need to do this step!
-
Your presentation should explain your CEI project and how it links to the theme of the conference
-
You can read more about CEI projects here: Guide to Conference Projects
-
Videos should be maximum 10 minutes long
-
If you introduce yourselves, make sure to only use your first names (e.g. 'Sam' not 'Samuel Thelaus') for privacy reasons!
