Innsbruck selects the Prize of Diversity for intercultural projects!

Innsbruck, Österreich - Innsbruck again awards the “Prize of Diversity” to appreciate outstanding projects that are committed to respectful coexistence. Since 2008, this price has been regularly awarded to initiatives, promoting intercultural exchange and strengthening understanding between different cultures. This award is a profound recognition for the commitment of associations that make a significant contribution in our multicultural society, especially in times that are often characterized by racism and polarization, as the jury justifies. ORF Tirol reported .

The “Hindiba” project, which supports women in their independence, stands out among this year's nominees. The association offers workshops and events that make it possible to reduce fears and overcome cultural barriers. The innovative concept of intercultural, bilingual team teaching, in which German and Arab-mother speakers offer language courses together, is also becoming more important. The aim is to convey the necessary language skills to the participants in order to enable them to appear in everyday life.
