What’s the context of the evaluation?

The participants went through a “Challenge” with PLACE: a 2-hour interactive learning experience online. As a roleplay, they were taking part in a bootcamp to get selected by The Right Livelihoods Award to feature in TIME Magazine. In order to be selected, they needed to produce a video presenting themselves as an emerging leader.

During this 2-minute video profiles, the participants need to answer these questions in a clear articulated way:

  1. What is your desired impact? In other words, What are you looking to transform in the long run?
  2. Why should we follow you? In other words, what makes you the right person/leader?

On this space you will find:

  • The brief for the roleplay scenario
  • An expert brief that outlines what the video will be evaluated on
  • The evaluation criteria for your reference
  • The completed video profiles

The brief for the roleplay scenario 

You’re in Stockholm, Sweden to attend the Right Livelihood Awards – an annual ceremony that has been founded in order to support those offering practical and exemplary answers to the most urgent challenges that face the world today. You have been called as one of the attendees along with many other globally- active leaders, but also for another specific reason.

You have been identified as one of the top 200 emerging leaders. In partnership with TIME Magazine, the Right Livelihood Awards will feature 10 emerging leader profiles in a special edition magazine and through a YouTube series.

To be considered as one of the candidates for this opportunity you will need to prepare a 2-minute video showcasing yourself, your vision, and your goals around the work that you’re doing.
