Awarding of the Bremen Diaspora Prize 2024
On Saturday, August 24, 2024, the German Emigration Center was the host for the award ceremony of the ‘Bremer Diaspora Prize for Special Commitment to Sustainable Development in Bremen and a Better World.’
The prize has been awarded for several years to individuals (BIPOC) or migrant-diaspora organizations that promote an ecologically, socially, and economically sustainable society. Health and education, poverty alleviation, equality, or sustainable agriculture and healthy nutrition are just a few of the topics that the projects in Bremen or in countries of the Global South address.
The awards were given in 2024 in the categories
People & Peace — social and solidarity-based action
Planet — living ecologically and sustainably
Prosperity — innovating economically
Partnership — collaborating across borders
Port of Solidarity
awarded.
After a guided tour through the museum and opportunities for encounters and exchange, the awards were ceremoniously presented in the Kalliope Hall of the ACOMIS by well-known actors from politics and society, and the awardees were appropriately celebrated together.
