some notes on past awards
2011
The focus on socially engaged NGO projects shifted to Prague in June 2011 for the third ERSTE Foundation Award for Social Integration. The first prize winner was a project enabling women and children whose lives are shattered by domestic violence to recover and rebuild their lives in a safe, supportive environment. The Shelter and Counselling Centre for Women and Children Victims of Violence by the Autonomous Women’s House Zagreb (AZKZ) is a startling success story in a country, Croatia, where domestic violence was legally ignored until recent years.
Of the EUR 613,000 prize money presented to the 36 winners – a sum more than seven times the total prize money of the first awards – AZKZ scooped EUR 40,000.
2009
At the award ceremony in the Romanian capital on 25 June 2009, first prize went to the ‘Campaign for the Prevention of Trafficking in Children’.
This was a project by the Macedonian NGO Open Gate, one of the twenty socially engaged projects celebrated at the event in Bucharest’s National Museum of Art (the former Royal Palace). An accompanying conference brought international expertise to bear on the subject of the future of social change in South East Europe.
With four more countries – Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Romania – added to the mix, the pool of talent and inspiration was even wider, and more than 1300 applications were received. The first prize winner, Open Gate, lobbies to protect women from trafficking and other forms of violence. The trafficking project recognised by the jury of 17 experts deals specifically with children, including many from the Roma community, who are at risk from this vile crime. Open Gate’s Jasmina Dimiškovska said: ‘This Award is of immense importance for us, as it enables us to directly reach out to our target group, which is very vulnerable.’
Open Gate was awarded EUR 40,000 of the total prize money of EUR 295,000. Second prize (EUR 30,000) went to the Transrural Trust for the project ‘Livelihood Diversification for Bereaved Women in Western Kosovo’, and third prize (EUR 20,000) to Serbia’s KEC MNRO for the project ‘Independent and Integrated Lives for People with Developmental Disabilities’.
2007
NGO support for the marginalised people of South Eastern Europe was put centre-stage at the first-ever ERSTE Foundation Award for Social Integration on 21 February 2008. The Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, hosted the award ceremony at its prestigious National Gallery. First prize (EUR 20,000) went to the Bosnian NGO UG Infohouse for its project Volunteer Finance 2007. This innovative project boosted social volunteering among young people, improving their prospects and bringing them into contact with the business sector.
There were nine other winning projects. Second prize (EUR 15,000) was awarded to Zagreb City Libraries for the project Library Wide Open Door, which reached out to hundreds of young disabled readers. Two third prizes (EUR 10,000 each) were awarded: one to the Centre for Promotion of Education for a project aimed at traumatised children in Kosovo, and the other to the Serbian NGO Kiosk for a project involving multiethnic photography workshops for young people.
