This year’s festival presents the “Diaspora School of Human Rights,” an educational program designed to enhance youth’s sensitivity to human rights through film. The program intends to educate the true meaning and value of ‘diversity,’ ‘coexistence’, and ‘tolerance’ for differences, and ignite a change in public perception.

‘Moving Pictures’ is a film criticism workshop to discuss global diasporic issues through films. Participants of the workshop will learn creative critique methods to choose and analyze the right topics, and eventually express their perspectives. They will work in groups and publish final reviews in the end.

‘Film, SOLAN’ is a short film production workshop for immigrants. Participants can experience the entire filmmaking process, from script writing to shooting and editing, and ultimately direct films that respect the life stories of immigrants in Korean society. The films produced during the workshop will be premiered at this year's festival.

“Film at School! : Reading Human Rights Through Films” will be held to enhance the cultural diversity and human rights literacy of adolescents. This is a teen training program in which short films will be carefully selected from previous festival entries to be screened at schools, and director talks and human rights debates will be held after the screenings.
