Bridging Divides, Finding Solutions
We honor those who deal with conflict in new ways; who meet crises with creativity, wisdom and courage; who inspire and bring hope to others. Recipients of the Awards work in their local communities or internationally. They show us what can be achieved when we work with, and for, each other.
