Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Ucell mobile operator and UNICEF in Uzbekistan call to join the global initiative for a better world for children.
Alongside with provision of communication services to the population, Ucell is an active member of Uzbekistan society and pays special attention at young generation, investing into the country’s future. Therefore, on the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child the company is partnering with UNICEF in Uzbekistan, to support the global IMAGINE initiative.
Having the mission to get people connected, Ucell is contributing with communication support for the IMAGINE initiative, enabling children and adults from Uzbekistan to upload their video - messages to the global digital platform throughout the #Imagine Touchcast application.
Special public corners are created for easy population access, where everyone, willing to join the initiative, can come and being assisted by the UNICEF volunteers will record their part of the IMAGINE song and a message on how they see the future world best fit for children, using the devices and internet connection that are ensured by Ucell in Tashkent trough 4G technology and in three provinces of the country, during 16-30 December 2014.
What is IMAGINE initiative?
The initiative is based on #Imagine Touchcast application that can be downloaded for free on iPhone and iPads. The application offers the possibility to record your personal version of the John Lenon’s famous song – Imagine. The application is easy to use, enabling you to see the song wordings on the screen, having a great song interpretation as background. Everyone can do it, doesn’t matter the level of vocal talent or the language spoken. Who doesn’t know English, can simply record his message in any native language.
The app is currently available only on IOS (iPad and iPhone), that’s why Ucell wishes to extend the opportunity for everyone and ensure devices with internet traffic. UNICEF volunteers stand ready to assist people in the recording process.
The project is intended to collect millions of voices of adults and children about “How we Imagine the future world for children” that will result in a global video featuring people of different nationalities, gender, ages, religions - all united around the idea of promoting universal realization of children’s rights all over the world.
