MUNICH, NUEVA YORK, y DOHA, Qatar, December 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Primer "Intercultural Innovation Award" en el cuarto foro de la Alianza de Civilizaciones de la ONU en Doha

El "BMW Group Award for Intercultural Innovation in cooperation with the Alliance of Civilizations under the auspices of the UN" se otorgó a las diez iniciativas de todo el mundo en el cuarto foro de la Alianza de Civilizaciones de la ONU el 12 de diciembre. Jorge Sampaio, alto representante de la Alianza de Civilizaciones, y Konstanze Carreras, responsable de responsabilidad social corporativa en el BMW Group, celebró la función de gala para el Award for Intercultural Innovation. El Secretario general de la ONU Ban Ki felicitó esa noche a los ganadores así como durante el foro.

Este premio representa un nuevo tipo de alianza entre el sector privado y el sistema de la ONU, orientado a seleccionar proyectos altamente innovadores que promueven el diálogo y el entendimiento intercultural y hacen una contribución vital a la seguridad y paz en las sociedades de todo el mundo.

Más de 400 propuestas de 70 países se consideraron para el premio. Incluyeron proyectos de países emergentes, como China y Brasil así como otros, como uno del sur de Sudán, el país más joven del mundo, y otro de las Islas Salomón, el país más pequeño del mundo. Los proyectos ganadores cubren un amplio rango de áreas, incluyendo el papel de los jóvenes y mujeres para promover el entendimiento intercultural, la inmigración, la integración y el uso de medios sociales para impulsar la colaboración entre las personas de diferentes partes del mundo.  

El Award for Intercultural Innovation pretende hacer el trabajo de los proyectos premiados más impactante conectando sus iniciativas a los nuevos recursos y ayudándoles a expandir el ámbito de su trabajo.

Entre los ganadores del primer "Award for Intercultural Innovation": el proyecto MEJDI del Center for World Religions, Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution, que se dedica a promover la pez y el entendimiento en Oriente Medio, y la Canadian Maytree Foundation con su iniciativa "DiverseCity onboard" que impulsa la capacidad de las minorías étnicas en la Greater Toronto Area. Los dos proyectos obtuvieron el primer y segundo premio, respectivamente. El tercer premio fue para el proyecto paneuropeo CafeBabel.com, que convenció a los expertos con su iniciativa "Europe on the Ground", un proyecto periodístico intercultural.

Además de los tres ganadores principales, se premiaron siete proyectos más con el "Intercultural Innovation Award" en Doha, Qatar - entre ellos la Brazilian Vaga Lume Association, el proyecto italiano "Chirom e… chino", el proyecto de radio de Oriente Medio "All for Peace Radio (AFP)", la iniciativa alemana "Kickfair" así como el proyecto didáctico "Irenia", que se centra en los países mediterráneos, el concepto global "Universal Subtitles" operado por la Participatory Culture Foundation y el programa canadiense "Youth Empowering Parents (YEP)".

Además de ofrecer el dinero del premio, UNAOC y BMW Group se comprometen a ayudar a estos proyectos a expandirse y replicarse en otros entornos donde puedan ser útiles. Los ganadores se convertirán en miembros del WIFI, la World Intercultural Facility for Innovation. WIFI es una plataforma para los ganadores para conectar con donantes potenciales y mentores y entrar en un diálogo con otros ganadores. Bajo la coordinación del equipo WIFI, participarán en conferencias y talleres; estarán conectados a políticos y fundaciones; y se convertirán en miembros activos de la comunidad WIFI de expertos prácticos para ayudar a otros a lograr sus objetivos particulares.
