PLURAL+ is an annual video festival aimed at inspiring global youth to explore significant topics such as migration, social inclusion, diversity, and the prevention of xenophobia.
PLURAL+ Youth Video Festival
The program is a collaborative effort between the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
By encouraging and recognizing the creativity of young people’s submissions, PLURAL+ aims to empower them to become agents of change in a world often marred by divisions based on intolerance and cultural or religious differences.
Benefits
- Recipients of International Jury Distinctions and Special Recognitions are given a fully funded trip to the PLURAL+ Ceremony. The ceremony is usually held in New York, but the venue may change.
- The invitation covers travel and accommodation expenses for one person per video. If a video is submitted by a group, only one person will be invited and their expenses will be covered.
