The nomination was done by Heiner Benking from PNW [1] , a member of the German Anna Lindh network [2], and co-foudner of the Anna-Lindh-Salon. [3] He based his proposal on the following:

  3. The world-wide initiatives and books written by members of its Board Aleco Christakis,[4] [5] Yiannis Laouris,[6] Harry Anastasiou,[7] Kerstin Wittig and Romina Laouri.
