This campaign aimed to bring together and encourage youth currently enrolled in public and private tertiary education institutions to formulate creative, community-based solutions based on the theme ‘Bringing Communities Closer Together’.
HYPE had two components, in which the first was the video competition that ran from 1 November 2018 to 31 March 2019. Participants were required to register as groups and submit videos that highlight the following sub-themes:
- How Malaysia’s diverse cultures can be utilised to bring communities closer together;
- Building resilient communities;
- How resilient communities can affect positive social change.
The video competition generated 62 entries and the winning videos were subsequently posted up on SEARCCT’s MyAman social media pages.
The second component of this campaign was the HYPE Youth Carnival that was held on 4 May 2019, in which SEARCCT invited local musicians to perform as well as enforcement agencies and humanitarian organisations to set up information booths, in order to break down barriers and to start building trust between the youth and Malaysia’s law enforcement.
