Финалисты были отобраны из 538 соискателей из 74 стран мира


Оттава (Канада), 24 июня 2019 г. - Сегодня Глобальный центр плюрализма (GCP) объявил 10 финалистов Глобальной премии плюрализма за 2019 год.


Осенью этого года, 20 ноября в городе Оттава будут объявлены три победителя Глобальной премии плюрализма. Премия присуждается за выдающиеся достижения организаций, отдельных лиц и правительств во всем мире, которые демонстрируют мирное и продуктивное проживание в условиях разнообразия.


«Во времена растущей ненависти и нагнетания напряженности во всем мире эти победители служат примером тех лучших качеств, которыми обладает человечество», - отметил экс-Премьер-министр Канады и председатель конкурсного жюри премии Достопочтенный Джо Кларк. «Сейчас роль плюрализма становится еще более важной. Всего за несколько лет у нас завершилась эпоха, в которой было хотя бы согласие с многообразием и его принятие в целом и наметился переход в эпоху, где многообразие стало вызывать страх, а зачастую и оспариваться».


Финалисты 2019 г. из Канады, Соединенных Штатов, Ливана, Венгрии, Ганы, Франции, Бангладеш, Афганистана, Мьянмы и ряда республик бывшей Югославии вносят жизненно важный вклад в обеспечение плюрализма - главным образом посредством миростроительства, искусства, образования, социальной сплоченности и интеграции беженцев и мигрантов.


В этом году Глобальный центр плюрализма получил заявки от более чем 500 соискателей из 4 стран мира. В первом конкурсном цикле, который завершился в 2017 году, количество соискателей было меньше в два раза. Все кандидаты проходят тщательную проверку и в состав жюри. Количество финалистов будет сокращено до трех победителей, которые будут объявлены осенью после посещения стран и консультаций с ключевыми партнерами на местах. Каждому из этих трех победителей будет выделено по 50 000 канадских долларов для продолжения их работы по содействию плюрализму.
