Join us on October 22, 2024, as we invite the seven awardees of the Intercultural Achievement Award. The award, bestowed by the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs, recognizes innovative civil society initiatives both in Austria and internationally. These projects are committed to intercultural and interreligious dialogue across diverse domains: art and culture, youth empowerment, human rights, global citizenship education, integration, and gender equality.
The evening kicks off with a panel discussion, where our international awardees will showcase their grassroots projects in Lebanon, Estland, Israel, Columbia, Serbia, Poland and Austria. Discover their bold visions, ambitious goals, and the hurdles they’ve to overcome in their respective countries. We’ll explore the ripple effect of their work – how local action sparks transformation.
Besides, this event aims to be a platform for knowledge exchange. Hence, we’re very eager to hear more about your impactful projects, too!
Following the discussion, we’ll continue networking in a relaxed atmosphere, complete with a delicious buffet.
