Armenian student among UNESCO peace contest winners

PanARMENIAN.Net - Yerevan State University student Mher Galumyan’s videoclip "My Fairy Tale" won UNESCO’s Pathways to a Culture of Peace: Global Contest for Mutual Understanding, along with 7 other participants.

More than 1,300 young people worldwide between 14 and 25 years of age participated in this contest. About 400 works were submitted for four competing categories as follows: essay, photography, video and graphic arts.

Works were evaluated by a jury based on their originality and creativity with which young participants perceive and expressed their vision of peace and non-violence and how they are practiced every day. At the end of deliberations, eight works were selected, illustrating the ability of authors to highlight the core values of the culture of peace and non-violence, including respect for diversity, intercultural and interreligious dialogue, justice and equity.
