data limita: 30/10/2007

The ERSTE Foundation Award for Social Integration is designed to promote
and recognize organizations in the public and non-profit sectors that
engage people’s abilities, capacities, and initiatives for socially
oriented practice and progressive change in society. The Award is integral
to the ERSTE Foundation Programme “Social Affairs” which emphasizes a
commitment to human and cultural diversity, holistic human development,
social and economic justice, and individual and group self-determination.

The ERSTE Foundation Award for Social Integration (referred to hereafter
as the Award) adds value to social practice by highlighting innovative
projects in countries of Central and Southeast Europe (CSEE). The Award
provides due recognition to the role of individuals and groups in that
region in creating societies with equal opportunities for everyone. Social
integration is applied here to mean policies and programmes which foster
stable, safe and just societies and therefore are inclusive of
disadvantaged, vulnerable groups and people with special needs.

The Award will be given annually for innovative and creative social
integration projects that have made a valuable impact and difference in
the intended beneficiaries. The financial component of the Award is
intended to further the awardees in their social practice.

In addition to the financial grant, the Award will provide wide exposure
so that winning projects get more visibility. It will create opportunities
for the winners to have better access to networks of possible partners and
supporters as well as to the databases of ERSTE Foundation. The Award will
also support the first prize-winner through a promotional video. All other
short-listed nominees will be included in a promotional film to be shown
on local and international media channels.

Projects have to demonstrate outcomes, results, and sustainability. The
Award is open to the public sector, civil society, private initiatives,
and religious communities as well as to the media.
