تم اختيار المرشحين النهائيين من بين 538 مرشحاً من 74 دولة


أوتاوا، كندا، 24 يونيو 2019 - أعلن المركز العالمي للتعددية اليوم عن أسماء 10 مرشحين نهائيين لنيل جائزة التعددية العالمية لعام 2019.


سيُعلن عن ثلاثة فائزين في الخريف وسيتم تكريمهم خلال حفل سيُقام في أوتاوا في الـ20 من نوفمبر من العام الجاري. تعترف الجائزة بالإنجازات غير العادية للمنظمات والأفراد والحكومات من جميع أنحاء العالم الذين يجسدون العيش بسلامٍ وإنتاجيةٍ مع التنوع.


إلى ذلك، قال سعادة جو كلارك، رئيس وزراء كندا السابق ورئيس لجنة التحكيم: "في وقت تتزايد فيه الكراهية ويتصاعد التوتر داخل المجتمعات في جميع أنحاء العالم، يجسد هؤلاء الفائزون أفضل ما في الإنسانية. يعتبر التركيز على التعددية اليوم أكثر أهميةً من أي وقتٍ مضى. في بضع سنوات فقط، انتقلنا من وضعٍ كان فيه هناك قبول عام للاختلاف ولو في الحدود الدنيا، إلى وضعٍ حلّ فيه الخوف بدلاً عن ذلك، بل وأصبح الاختلاف مصدراً للنزاع".


يُقدِّم المرشحون النهائيون لعام 2019، من كندا، الولايات المتحدة، لبنان، المجر، غانا، فرنسا، بنغلاديش، أفغانستان، ميانمار وعدة بلدان في يوغوسلافيا السابقة، إسهامات حيوية في التعددية، وذلك على أساس بناء السلام والفنون والتعليم والتماسك الإجتماعي ودمج اللاجئين والمهاجرين.


تلقى المركز العالمي للتعددية هذا العام أكثر من 500 طلب عبر 74 دولة للترشح لجوائز التعددية العالمية لعام 2019، أي أكثر من ضعف الطلبات المقدمة إلى الجوائز الافتتاحية عام 2017. يخضع جميع المرشحون لمراجعة صارمة واختيار من لجنة التحكيم. سيتم تضييق مجال المتأهلين إلى ثلاثة فائزين، يتم الإعلان عنهم في الخريف، عقب زيارات ومشاورات داخل بلادهم مع شركاء رئيسيين على أرض الواقع. سيتم منح كل واحد من الفائزين الثلاثة 50 ألف دولار كندي لتحسين عملهم في تعزيز التعددية.
