Since 2009, COPEAM and the U.N. Alliance of Civilisations (UNAOC) have signed a partnership agreement about Plural+ Festival, a youth video festival exploring themes related to migration and diversity organised by UNAOC in collaboration with the International Organization for Migration and other international partners.
This Video Festival aims at recognizing the young peopleas agents of social change and at involving it in addressing questions on migrant integration, inclusiveness, identity, diversity, human rights and social inclusion. In addition to this, by awarding user-made and non-professional products, this initiative represents an interesting opportunity of stimulating young people creativity and direct involvement, and allows them to be in contact with the audiovisual language.

year COPEAM is media partner of the Alliance of Civilisations of the United Nations for the 2013 edition of Plural+ Festival. The initiative, organised by UNAOC in collaboration with the International Organization for Migration and other international partners, is dedicated to youth videos exploring issues related to migration and diversity.
This year PLURAL+ received over 250 videos from 71 countries. Twenty-five videos were selected for awards.
PLURAL+ Awards ceremony was held at the Paley Center for Media on the 5th December 2013, in New York.
COPEAM special prize was assigned to the video “Diversity” with the following motivation:
This video has been selected by COPEAM for the creativity shown by the author, Bernhard Wenger, in addressing issues such as diversity and internationality, found in all our actions, in our food, in our clothes, in our daily lives, but neglected when it comes to human beings. The adopted perspective has been considered particular due to its ability to equal the effectiveness of a TV advertising campaign.
