Armenian Student Among UNESCO Peace Contest Winners

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.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
