What is?

Give me 1 minute of PEACE

In 2010 UN Etxea – Basque Country Association for UNESCO  launched the “Give me 1 minute of…” competition for audiovisual works with the aim of raising awareness of Human Rights.

“Give me 1 minute of…” is an annual competition in which the best 1-minute audiovisual works that defend, promote, claim, disseminate or raise awareness of Human Rights are awarded.

In each edition, the competition focuses on a different theme.

In 2024, in its 15th edition, the competition is entitled “Give me 1 minute of PEACE”.

In this edition, the best 1-minute audiovisual pieces that defend, promote, claim, disseminate and/or raise awareness of the human right to peace, the culture of peace, the role of education in promoting non-violence and the peaceful resolution of conflicts will be awarded.

The world is witnessing a wave of violent conflict parallel to a worrying rise in intolerance and discrimination. In particular, hate speech can take dangerous forms that not only cause harm on a personal level and incite violence directed against groups, but are also an attack on inclusion, diversity and human rights.

In this context, an active commitment to peace is more urgent than ever. This commitment must go beyond security and defence measures to prevent or stop conflict, for peace does not begin where violence ends. Sustaining peace requires strong foundations of inclusive, democratic and participatory governance, dialogue, solidarity, mutual understanding and cooperation, sustainable development, gender equality and the overall realisation of human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Education plays a key role in this endeavour. (Message from Ms Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, on the occasion of International Day of Education, 24 January 2024)

The increasing use of social media as a ‘weapon’ with which to spread divisive and hate speech has been aided by internet algorithms. This has intensified the stigma faced by the most vulnerable individuals and communities and exposed the fragility of our democracies globally. The proliferation of hate content online has been accompanied by an increase in misinformation that can be easily shared through digital tools.
