Advocacy for intercultural and social understanding or against racist violence

The joint award presented by the states of Berlin and Brandenburg has been given out since 1993. Following the racist attacks in Hoyerswerda, both states wanted to take a stand against racism, exclusion, and violence. This award honors initiatives and individuals who work to promote peaceful coexistence. The recipients are intended to motivate and encourage others to also take a stand against exclusion and violence and to promote tolerance.
