PLURAL+ 2011 Youth Video Festival on Migration, Diversity & Social Inclusion

PLURAL+ is an organisation that supports youth in addressing the key challenges of their communities related to migration, diversity and social inclusion. It recognize youth as powerful agents of social change in the world and supports their engagement in these issues, both at local and global levels, by facilitating video distribution through a variety of media platforms and networks.

PLURAL+ is inviting again the world’s youth after the success of the first years, to submit dynamic and forward-thinking videos focusing on the issues of migration, diversity and social inclusion. PLURAL + encourages schools, NGOs, and the business community to support the creative vision of youth in their media making efforts.

People between the ages of 9 and 25 are invited to submit short videos of one to five minutes in length. The videos should express participants’ experiences and thoughts on migration, diversity, social inclusion and identity; highlighting realities as well as ideas for peaceful relations among diverse cultures and religions.

A prestigious international jury will select three winners in the three age categories (9-12, 13-17, 18-25). Each winner will be invited to New York, all travel expenses paid, to present their work at PLURAL + 2011 Awards Ceremony at the Paley Center for Media on 10 November 2011.

The deadline to apply is 1 July, 2011.

This Event is a great opportunity for all the scouts around Europe to express themselves by creating a short video presenting the issues of migration, diversity or social inclusion. Therefore each scout is free to express his/her point of view or present an experience related to this topics at local, national or international level.
