The Youth Water Forum 2025 call for video submissions began on 2 June 2025 for high school-aged youth (15–18 years old at the time of submission). We invited 3‑minute English videos on the theme of “water” and are now releasing eligible submissions on the Youth Water Forum YouTube channel.

We received a wide variety of videos from across Japan, in which students share their own thoughts and daily activities related to water. The videos cover a broad range of topics, from water in everyday life and unique local water resources to river ecosystem experiments, water‑related research, and interviews on water issues around the world. Each video has been created from the unique perspective of high school-aged youth.

Next Call for Video Submissions (Youth Water Forum 2026)

While the Youth Water Forum 2025 call for video submissions has closed, we plan to launch the Youth Water Forum 2026 call for video submission in June 2026. We look forward to receiving your 3‑minute English videos that express your thoughts on water, your daily activities, and new challenges related to water.

After content confirmation, selected videos will continue to be shared worldwide through the Youth Water Forum YouTube channel and related events.

Over the past five years, more than 120 videos have been submitted and shared through the Youth Water Forum, reflecting the increasing interest and involvement of youth in water-related issues. We will continue to provide this platform as a space where youth can express their ideas and take action for the future of water.

We look forward to receiving your submissions!
