ABOUT
THE PIECE PRIZe
The PIECE PRIZE is a humanitarian award to recognise individuals/organisations who are actively involved in making neighbourhoods, communities and cities a peaceful place through acts of genuine kindness and caring.
Recipients of the award show a strong “caring attitude,” reaching across ethnic or cultural barriers to assist people to find their place in society.
WHY
We live in a divided world - a complex situation (political, cultural, ethnic and religion).
The shared sense of community is at risk - integration becomes disintegration and disintegration is a threat to civil society.
Requires action - not only by governments and global charitable organisations, but by individuals acting locally.
KEY OBJECTIVES
- To inspire individuals to make a difference in their local communities and cities.
- To foster mutual respect for one another, regardless of faith, traditions and cultures.
- Generate a 21st century mindset that a peaceful world starts with “me” and requires the effort of many individuals.
