PLURAL+ 2012 Youth Video Festival on Migration and Social Inclusion: Calls for Participation

The UN Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and IOM are again inviting
the world’s youth to submit original and creative videos
focusing on PLURAL+ themes: migration, diversity and social
inclusion. The deadline for submissions is July 1st 2012.

Recognizing youth as powerful agents of social change in a world
often characterized by intolerance, and cultural and religious
divisions, PLURAL+ invites youth to address key challenges in their
communities related to migrant integration, inclusiveness,
identity, diversity, human rights and social cohesiveness, both at
local and global levels. Young people up to 25 years old are
invited to submit short videos of five minutes maximum in
length.

PLURAL+ supports young people’s expression of their
opinions by providing them with a variety of media platforms and
distribution networks, including broadcasts, video festivals,
conferences and events around the world.

PLURAL+ not only provides young people with an effective
platform to express themselves on key migration and diversity
issues, but also reinforces the firm belief of IOM and UNAOC that
youth are powerful and creative agents of social change.

A prestigious international jury will select three winners in
each age category (9-12, 13-17, 18-25). All the winners will be
invited to New York, all travel expenses paid, to present their
work at the PLURAL + 2012 Awards Ceremony at the Paley Center for
Media on 6th December 2012.  

PLURAL+ partner organizations will also award other prizes and
professional opportunities, helping winning participants to present
their work at film and video festivals, conferences and events
around the world.
