The EU-funded \u2018Creative Europe\u2019 programme has published its first Simone Veil Prize call for entries.<\/p>\n
The prize promotes heritage as a positive, forward-looking force for respectful coexistence in European society. It reflects the European Union\u2019s commitment to safeguarding cultural diversity, countering discrimination and antisemitism, and promoting shared historical perspectives.<\/p>\n
It honours Simone Veil<\/a>, French Holocaust survivor, who dedicated her life to reconciliation, passionately promoting human rights and European unity. As the first president of the European Parliament, she campaigned against antisemitism and fought for a unified Europe of shared ideals, making her a powerful symbol of the values the prize seeks to celebrate.<\/p>\n The Simone Veil Prize is awarded once per year and will recognise up to 25 finalists and five Grand Prix winners in each category. Each of the five winners will receive \u20ac10,000. Winners will be presented with awards in a ceremony in Brussels at the end of this year.<\/p>\n The prize will recognise local and cross-border projects completed between January 2023 and January 2026 in five award categories: \u2018Shared histories\u2019, \u2018Heritage for dialogue\u2019, \u2018Living Heritage\u2019, \u2018Cross-border cooperation and shared narratives\u2019, and \u2018Next generation, youth engagement and education\u2019.<\/p>\n Applications can be submitted by legal or natural persons registered in countries participating<\/a> in the Culture Strand of the Creative Europe programme, including Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine.<\/p>\n The deadline for applications is 31 July.<\/p>\n Find out more<\/strong><\/p>\n Press release<\/a><\/p>\n The post Simone Veil Prize: first call for entries published \u2013 open to Armenia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine<\/a> appeared first on EU NEIGHBOURS east<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The EU-funded \u2018Creative Europe\u2019 programme has published its first Simone Veil Prize call for entries.
