Festival Description:

One World helps to provide much more complex and balanced information and offers the possibility for deeper understanding of the connections and the important foreign-political and social themes.

A part of the One World Festival includes the awarding of the thus far only international human rights award Homo Homini.

The program of the festival also includes the highest quality documentary films that were completed in the previous year and received awards at prestigious international festivals, but also investigative and activist films, which draw attention to the most serious problems and violations of human rights.

One World is a meaningful discussion forum. This year in Prague there will take place over 50 discussions of various foreign- political, human-rights, civil society and ecological themes. Another 60-70 discussions will take place in the 16 regional centers.

One World is an education platform. The screening of this year’s festival will be visited by about 6,000 pupils and students of the primary and secondary schools in Prague and approximately 14,000 in the regions. After each film screening there will follow a debate. Participation in the One World Festival can offer young people a more diverse perception of the world, places news in a wider connection, and breaks down prejudices and teaches the viewers to articulate their own opinions in an open discussion.
