The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) are calling on youth from all over the world to vote before November 1, 2010 for their favorite video from the PLURAL+ 2010 Youth Video Festival finalist entries. The invitation for this new PLURAL + Youth Audience Award was announced by the UNAoC and IOM on the occasion of the United Nations International Year of Youth on Dialogue and Mutual Understanding launched last August 12th by the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, in the General Assembly Hall at United Nations Headquarters in New York.
Youth from around the world are invited to
visit PLURAL+ website http://www.unaoc.org/pluralplus for
further information on how to watch the videos and vote for
the Youth Audience Award.
The participating videos
express young peoples’ thoughts, experiences, questions
and suggestions on migration, diversity, integration,
identity and social inclusion, highlighting their realities
as well as ideas on developing a peaceful coexistence in
diverse cultural and religious contexts.
The aim of PLURAL+ is to ensure youth engagement in these important issues both at local and global levels by mainstreaming their voices through a variety of media platforms and distribution networks (broadcast, video festivals, conferences, events, Internet, DVD) around the world.
PLURAL+ participation demonstrates how young people across the world are willing to creatively engage in complex social issues such as migration and cultural inclusiveness, said Marc Scheuer, Director of the UN Alliance of Civilizations.
The winner of the PLURAL+ Youth Audience Award will be announced on November 12, 2010 at the Paley Center for Media in New York. In addition, all youth participants selecting their favorite video will automatically enter in a drawing with the opportunity of winning a Flip camera.
