ePOP - Participatory Observers Projects, the1st international network of people committed to the environment who bear witness to the way people feel about the consequences of environmental and climate change, has launched its 2nd video clip competition, " Fais voir ce qu'ils ressentent " (" Let people see how they feel "). With this new edition, we are continuing our work to highlight the human element in the environmental debate. The consequences of global change are already being felt, and it's more important than ever to know what people are feeling

Developed jointly by RFI Planète Radio and the IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement), ePOP, an inclusive and participatory network, gives a voice to citizens and actors mobilized for the protection of the environment in order to transmit their voices and testimonies on video. Broadcast in the media and social networks, this voice is also regularly brought to decision-makers and scientists during regional or international events, such as the Conferences of the Parties on Climate.

The selection of the winners was made by a jury of audiovisual, media and environmental professionals.
Congratulations to the winners and kudos to all ePOPers for their commitment and participation in this second edition!
