About the Jesuit Refugee Service Europe

Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is an international Catholic organisation with a mission to accompany, serve and advocate for the rights of refugees and others who are forcibly displaced. In Europe, JRS is present in 23 countries and has a regional office in Brussels. It serves more than 180.000 people around the continent annually. JRS Europe’s strategic framework 2021-2024 identifies four key strategic areas: Access to protection, Ending Immigration Detention, Promoting Social Inclusion and Awareness Raising. The key ongoing projects at a regional level are: (1) the environmental change and migration awareness raising program “CHANGE Environment”, (2) the advocacy driven detention reporting “Detention Under the Spotlight” and (3) the response to the crisis in Ukraine “The One Proposal”.

Scope of the work

The service provider is expected to develop one creative and engaging campaign video, four short topic centred videos and a social media ad campaign (with budget included) to expand their reach.

The final campaign video should be a 5-minute engaging, impactful, motivational, and informational non-partisan video targeted to first-time voters. The video should be created using any engaging visual technique, narration, music and/or sound effects.

The four topic videos must share the same visual identity and objectives but be shorter in nature and each focus on one of the aspects of the common house metaphor (each person’s home, the house of Parliament, Europe, and the world). The video should be created using any engaging visual technique, narration, music and/or sound effects.

The social media ad campaign should help reach the target audience and include the budget necessary to implement it.

All videos and posts should be translated (Dubbed in the case of videos) to 6 languages: English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Polish and Romanian.
