More on the Topic
The need for solidarity and international cooperation has emerged as more urgent than ever due to the global health crisis that we are experiencing. Now more than ever, it has become obvious that we live in an intertwined world, in which needs are similar for all. It is understood that it is imperative to create strong communities that show resilience to crises without excluding anybody. Polarisation and xenophobia need to be fully ousted and replaced by the inclusion and integration of all refugees and migrants living in Europe.
A society in which every person enjoys social, civil and economic rights, while also fulfilling their responsibilities as active global citizens - that is the society we want to live in. In today's Europe, positive examples of social inclusion and integration exists but are not fully told by the media. Contest participants are invited to showcase stories, practices, examples and policies regarding the inclusion of women, men and children, which advocate social cohesion in our country's local communities.
Young people play a key role in informing society and shaping public opinion; what is more, in this internet era we live in, the video medium has grown into a fundamental tool of story-telling. It helps us convey messages, relate to a cause, take on action that will change the world. This contest aims to promote a positive narrative of migration as one of the requisite steps to take towards societies that are just and inclusive.
