Lighting a candle. Make an Awesome Video. Use #IFRCLightInTheDarkness

We are inviting volunteers from around the world to help launch Light in the Darkness, a global movement celebrating hope, humanity and the power of small actions to rebuild the conditions for peace.

To participate, please record a short video of yourself lighting a candle.

How to film your awesome video:

  • Record vertically (portrait / 9:16)
  • Keep it between 10 and 15 seconds
  • Film at dusk or at night if possible
  • Stand outdoors or in a simple, quiet location
  • Use a stable camera or ask someone to film for you
  • Start with the candle unlit
  • Light the candle
  • Hold it for a few seconds and look toward the camera
  • No music, filters or editing needed

Safety first:

  • Use the candle responsibly
  • Keep it away from anything flammable
  • Never leave a lit candle unattended
  • Extinguish it immediately after filming

Thank you for helping bring Light in the Darkness to life.
