The jury, made up of 5 people from different backgrounds, had organized two evenings to view all the competing short films and get to know each team in person. The final deliberations were not easy, given the very high quality level of the films and also because of the many conversations with the young people, who witnessed the beauty of participating in this festival: many praised the bonds created during this experience, the learning received in teamwork, the atmosphere created in the class, in the group, the changes brought about by this magnificent adventure ...
After an evening well conducted by the two presenters and interspersed with amusing skits, with the young people who, despite the distances and the screens to mediate, participated with great confidence and joy, the prizes were awarded.
