Introducing the PLURAL+ Youth Video Festival

Our recent Cities of Migration webinar on Youth Participation and Migrant Voice  included opening remarks by Florence Laufer of the UN Alliance of Civilization (UNAoC) in New York and an introduction to the UN AoC’s exciting new project, PLURAL+, an international youth-produced video festival on migration, diversity and identity.

On December 18th, 2009, in honour of International Migrants Day, the UN AoC announced the three International Jury Award winners at the PLURAL+ Youth Video Festival Awards Ceremony at the Paley Center for Media in New York.

Over 150 videos produced by youth age 9 to 25 from 39 countries representing all areas of the planet responded to the PLURAL + call for entries that were vetted by an international jury which includes youth representatives, film critics and critically acclaimed filmmakers such as Abbas Kiarostami.

The winning videos will be presented at a number of conferences and festivals as well as broadcast around the world throughout 2010.

For further information on PLURAL + and this year’s award winners, please visit: www.unaoc.org/pluralplus.

Ziauddin Sardar: In Defense of Multiculturalism
Ziauddin Sardar

“It is important to realize that multiculturalism is not about dominance of one culture over another. It is not about the dominance of a single culture over a multiple of cultures. It is about equality of cultures.”
