“We are all different, we are all equal”

The cooperation of Armenian “Rolan Bykov” Foundation and UNICEF-Armenia continued in the framework of the 9th festival as well. The program “We are all different, we are all equal” was implemented in the framework of the project “I Have Rights” once more to highlight the rights of children with disabilities, children who live in isolation and in most of the cases are deprived of the opportunity to get education. The aim of the project is, by using the festival as platform, to promote the national campaign on inclusion of children with disabilities organized by UNICEF-Armenia, to involve children with disabilities in the festival as direct participants, to give them opportunity to communicate with Armenian and foreign children of their age.

This year a new nomination called “Music Films” was added to the list of other nominations. The jury members were the teenagers of “Bridge of Hope” NGO, who not only did their job as jury members, but also actively participated in other festival events.
