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[1] an organization operating in 43 countries having over a 3000 organizational members, founded to honor Anna Lindh[2] for her pioneer work.

The nomination was done by Heiner Benking from PNW [3], a member of the German Anna Lindh network [4], and co-foudner of the Anna-Lindh-Salon. [5] He based his proposal on the following:

  3. The world-wide initiatives and books written by members of its Board Aleco Christakis,[7] [8] Yiannis Laouris,[9] Harry Anastasiou,[10] Kerstin Wittig and Romina Laouri.
