The Global Conversation is run by the Watson Institute as an online platform for the Brown community to post media and commentary on global politics, culture, and society.
For the contest, the Institute loaned Flip video cameras to Brown students who had international winter break plans in December-January, to document their experiences on the Global Conversation. Producers of the best short videos, judged by social value, technical merit, and creativity, get to keep the equipment they used for their projects.
