Since 2009, COPEAM has been supporting the PLURAL+ Video Festival, organized by UNAOC and IOM, in cooperation with a wide number of international partners. The main goal of this competition is to give voice to young video makers expressing their experiences and thoughts on migration, diversity and social inclusion. Over 200 short videos from all over the world have been submitted this year in the three categories grouped by age (9-12, 13-17, 18-25). In the 2015 edition, COPEAM decided to assign its special prize to “Story of Hakeem” by Osama Hamouda, on the basis of the following motivation:
“Through the use of a basic cartoon-technique, the author of the video shows the various reasons why the young people from Sudan are obliged to leave their country. Thanks to his ironic animated illustration, he is able to convey a very complex message on migration!”
The winner will be invited to present its video during the 23rd COPEAM annual Conference, to be held in Ajaccio from 7 to 9 April 2016.
