The YAAAS! Youth Jury consists of five young people that are particularly interested in making and watching films. This year they will consist of five students from a local school. These five youths will watch the seven selected films for the YAAAS! Competition and will select the winner of the CROSSING EUROPE AWARD – YAAAS! Youth Jury (€ 3.000,-), powered by VdFS Verwertungsgesellschaft der Filmschaffenden. This year, the jury chose to award the film PETITES / LITTLE ONES (FR 2022, Julie Lerat-Gersant).
This year's YAAAS! youth jury comes from the VSG AusbildungsFit FACTORY, a barrier-free offer for adolescents and young adults who have a need to improve their social, personal and academic skills before starting vocational training or further education. The offer contributes to preventing the exclusion of young people during the transition from compulsory schooling to further (vocational) training and the job market. The aim is to reach as many young people as possible with a need for skills development. By taking part in workshops (training), the 35 participants have the opportunity to learn a variety of skills, discover new interests and develop perspectives for their future.
