Title | Our Colonial Hangover | Media | TV |
| Entering Organization | De Familie Film & TV | Country/Region | Netherlands | |
| With a black-painted face and a slightly clownish outfit, Black Peter walks along with Santa Claus. This traditional character is essential to Christmas in the Netherlands but has become an issue which divides society. Is Black Peter a hangover of racism from the colonial age? Or is he an innocent custom in a traditional event? This program attempts to reveal hidden discrimination which has been handed down from the colonial age. In this program, an interviewer freely offers a microphone to people and the camera shoots people's behavior toward a black person who breaks bicycle locks in a park. And then the program posed a question: Isn’t Black Peter in the Christmas march a mark of hidden discrimination in your mind? | ||||

Title | Teacher X - Hello! Mr. Mayor | Media | TV |
| Entering Organization | Public Television Service Foundation (PTS) | Country/Region | Taiwan | |
| Li Hui-jen, a documentary filmmaker, goes to an elementary school classroom in Taipei for a special class. Li gives the excited but anxious students a task: Fight against something you think is unreasonable. As their target, they choose Taipei city’s milk campaign, which is designed to tackle calcium deficiency. Among the pupils, it is notorious for interrupting class hours and their free time. The children take action to request that the city authorities review the campaign. At first they fret over blunt telephone communications and cry bitter tears when they try to contact local councilors and research organizations. Finally they succeed in getting an appointment with the mayor in person. Civic or democracy education sounds difficult but there is a lesson to learn about how to face society starting from thinking that something is unreasonable. | ||||

Title | The Dictator | Media | TV |
| Entering Organization | Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company (UR) Art89 |
Country/Region | Sweden | |
| How would you react if your civil rights were taken away from you? How would you feel if you were forced to live in a society that prohibits your free travel? In this program, eight young people attempt to live for eight days under a dictator's orders. Prize money of 100,000 Swedish krona to the winner is their incentive. The eight prepare themselves and arrive at the venue but the dictator gives them stern orders from day one. They are only allowed to bring certain things into this closed society: no phones, no computers. Are cosmetics allowed? Shampoo? Toilet paper? Each person has their own claims about what they need. The program gives us a picture of an anti-democratic society where freedom is taken away completely and inspires us to think about what democracy is. | ||||

Title | The Power Factor | Media | Website |
| Entering Organization | Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company (UR) | Country/Region | Sweden | |
| It is easy to say "democracy," but it’s a complex topic that can be difficult for young people to grasp. So prior to the Swedish election in 2014, the Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company developed The Power Factor, a cross-media-production, consisting of TV programs and a website for young adults. Targeting 16- to 22-year-olds, its game mechanics provide a fun way to learn about democracy in the classroom or at home. Six color blocks representing each theme such as “Compare with others’ opinions,” “What you can do for society” and “Quiz” make the website easy to use. It deserves attention for its game mechanics that not only tell the rules of democracy but explain what democracy means for young individuals. | ||||

Title | Children of the Holocaust | Media | TV |
| Entering Organization | Fettle Animation BBC Learning Holocaust Survivors Friendship Association |
Country/Region | United Kingdom | |
| A family evacuated from Germany to Prague, then to the Netherlands and finally immigrated to the United Kingdom. From Poland to the UK, a boy was forced onto trains provided solely for refugee children. This program presents six remarkable stories of survivors of intense Nazi oppression who managed to make it to the United Kingdom. A combination of thoughtfully designed animation and on-camera interviews vividly depicts this tragedy from the past. This program was created as an aid for children learning about the holocaust in secondary school. It promotes discussion about World War II events but also offers opportunities to think about prejudice and discrimination. Also it helps adults consider how to treat children in harsh circumstances. | ||||
