Proposals are invited by the Threshold Foundation in Germany to nominate individuals or organizations for the International Bremen Peace Award. The Award provides honour to exemplary commitments to Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation for the fifth time.
The Award honours people and organizations that set an example through their work contributing to reconciliation, human rights, overcoming of racism, preservation of Creation as well as to intercultural and inter-religious understanding.
Awards will be given in three categories to individuals or organizations during a public ceremony at the Bremen Town Hall. The awards are endowed with a total amount of 15000 Euros, i.e. 5000 Euros in each category. Moreover, an award brochure will be published presenting other outstanding personalities and projects selected from a wide range of proposals. Thereby, it seeks to draw public attention to remarkable achievements of dedicated people worldwide.
