The Youth Jury Prize was initiated by the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and the Human Rights Film Festival Berlin to promote greater involvement of young generations in fundamental social and political issues and to amplify their voices.
For two weeks, 16- to 25-year-olds interested in politics and film had the opportunity to apply for a place on the youth jury. From numerous compelling applications, three winners were selected to form the 2023 Youth Jury, alongside singer, actress, and GPE Ambassador Alli Neumann and GPE Youth Ambassador and actor Jess Mukeba.
The members of the Youth Jury 2023 are:
- Johann Maria Kressin, freelance photographer and videographer.
- Vito Madita Wegner, student.
- Hannah Schönefeld, freelance filmmaker and student.
