In order to promote the core spirit of eliminating racial discrimination, mutual respect and understanding and promoting equality of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), the Immigration Department recently held the "2026 Short Video Competition on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination - Next Box, Let Understanding Speak" and selected the winning entries last month. The Immigration Department said today that it will hold an awards ceremony on the 14th of this month, and will also hold an exhibition at the Huashan 1914 Cultural and Creative Industry Park after the ceremony. It hopes to work with the public to create a friendly society of mutual respect and mutual understanding.

The Immigration Department said that with the normalization of global cross-border population movement, Taiwan has gradually moved towards a multi-racial society. In order to promote the elimination of racial discrimination and mutual respect among all sectors of society, the Immigration Department held the "2026 Short Video Competition to Eliminate Racial Discrimination - Next Level, Let Understanding Speak" in August this year, encouraging students from colleges and universities regardless of nationality to participate.

As of the deadline for submissions at the end of September, a total of 139 works have been collected for this event. This competition has a total of 16 awards, showing the young generation's diverse views and creative practices on racial equality issues.

The Immigration Department said that an awards ceremony will be held on the 14th of this month. After the ceremony, a one-and-a-half-day "Achievements Mini Exhibition" will be held in Hall 7B of the Huashan 1914 Cultural and Creative Industry Park. The public is invited to enter the exhibition venue to deepen their understanding of racial equality through video appreciation and fun interactions, and to jointly create a friendly society of mutual respect and understanding.

The exhibition area also plans a number of interesting interactive games. As long as the public participates in the on-site experience, they will have the opportunity to obtain a limited edition "waterproof and quick-drying bucket hat". Limited gifts that are both practical and fashionable allow people to participate in activities and learn about racial equality issues, while also integrating the concepts of "understanding and respect" into their daily lives.
