The initiative will take place in three phases, with the duration of a school year, and encourages young people and national schools to participate in a challenge of videos that can function as elements of behavioral change the environmental level. The action has three ambassadors that will encourage young people to participate: the presenters John Manzarra and Carolina Torres and Pedro Fernandes humorist. Each of these ambassadors will launch one of the phases of the project.

The challenge to teenagers is to create creative videos in which the waste electrical and Electronic equipment (WEEE) and its proper routing take lead role. Each stage of the action (coincident with a school period) will have a different motto: "Do the WEEE back home"; "It makes you to WEEE that endanger your world" and "Do the Electron and deposits your WEEE". All videos will be submitted in the project site, where, at each stage, 20 finalists will be chosen through online voting.

The finalists will be evaluated by the jury â€" composed of representatives of the entities involved (Amb3E, APA and IPDJ), as well as by Ambassador the respective phase â€" which will choose three winners. The first place will be awarded a smartphone, the second with an LCD and the third with a camera.

These will be subsequently assessed by the jury. In this case, the winners will receive a prize of 1500 euros in electrical and electronic equipment.
