One World has also received an honourable mention from UNESCO for its human rights educational initiatives. One World is considered to be one of the largest human rights documentary film festival in the world. It is held in Prague, more than 20 Czech towns and cities and in Brussels. One World shows documentaries on human rights, social, political, environmental and media issues and includes Q&As, talks, VR exhibitons, screenings for schools. Cooperates with the East Doc Platform for film industry. One World distributes documentary films, assists to emerging festivals, cares about the audience with disabilites. Is an active member of Human Rights Film Network and Green Film Network. Every year, the One World Festival screens up to a hundred quality documentaries from all over the world. People in Need was established in 1992 by a group of war correspondents and foreign correspondents who were no longer satisfied with simply bringing back information to the Czech Republic and therefore began sending out aid. People in Need has gradually established itself as a humanitarian organisation that aims to help in troubled regions and to support the observance of human rights around the world. In the 28 years it has been in existence, it has become one of the biggest non-profit organisations in Central Europe. It also began devoting itself to education and helping people living in social exclusion.
