All organizers and partners, and in particular the National Council for Combating Discrim- ination, firmly believe that there is potential for the creation and supply of a young, well-de- veloped community, which could then contribute to the development of the entire Romanian society. For this reason, the festival organizes annually projections dedicated to high school students and makes up the High School jury. This year, six projections were dedicated to high school students, all followed by questions and answers, where 800 students attended. For the fourth consecutive year, we have organized a High School jury, composed of five teenagers who gave the only award of the festival. The prize was awarded to the documentary „Oriented”, directed by the British Jake Witzenfeld and the trophy was given during the event of award to even one of the protagonists of the film, Khader Abu Seif.
