For the 4th 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.
