Future Worlds Center ranked second place in the final election round for the 2011 Euro-Med Award for the Dialogue between Cultures and was awarded an Honourable Mention for the highly-esteemed work on intercultural dialogue for the promotion of freedom and citizenship[1]. The Euro-Med Award for the Dialogue between Cultures is a very prestigious award given by the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue Between Cultures[2] an organization operating in 43 countries having over a 3000 organizational members, founded to honor Anna Lindh[3] for her pioneer work.
The nomination was done by Heiner Benking from PNW [4], a member of the German Anna-Lindh-Network [5], and co-foundner of the Anna-Lindh-Salon. [6] He based his proposal on the following:
- The high number of structured democratic dialogues[7] implemented by the organization.
- Notable projects which promote dialogue, such as Act Beyond Borders, Teach MDGs, Multicultural Cyprus, Moblang, UCYVROK, Civil Society Dialogue, etc.
- The world-wide initiatives and books written by members of its Board Aleco Christakis,[8] [9] Yiannis Laouris,[10] Harry Anastasiou,[11] Kerstin Wittig and Romina Laouri.
- The Philosophy,[12] Values,[13] Good Organization,[14] focus on peace,[15] special focus on vulnerable groups[16] and the role of Cyprus as peripheral center. [17]
