The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Creative Community Outreach Initiative (CCOI) is the first point of entry to the United Nations for film and television producers, writers, directors and other content creators. Recognizing the power of entertainment and the arts, CCOI collaborates with film and television productions to cast light on pressing global issues.
The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ system is represented in every corner of the world. CCOI can help with access for on-location filming, whether it¡¯s at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Headquarters in New York or at one of the Organization¡¯s many field locations around the world. We can offer editorial and logistical support for productions wishing to portray Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ-related issues or the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ itself, and help with legal clearance for the use of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ name and emblem.
We can help by:
- Facilitating filming at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ locations
- Providing writers¡¯ rooms access to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ subject matter experts (gender, climate change, human rights, poverty, peacekeeping, education, food security, etc.) and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ field staff who have experienced conflict situations, natural disasters, human rights violations, humanitarian assistance, etc.
- Advising on script authenticity as it pertains to the work of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and its issues
- Assisting with research on Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ storylines, including compelling untold stories of peacekeepers, humanitarian workers and other Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ field staff
- Acting as a clearinghouse for legal issues, including use of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ name and emblem
- Facilitating access to the extensive collection of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ archival film and photos dating back to the establishment of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ in 1945
