The Evens Foundation would like to invite applications from candidates for the third Evens Prize for Intercultural Education. The Evens Foundation prize is awarded to a project (or organisation) which has contributed to the integration of European citizens in the field of intercultural education, and has demonstrated determination and creativity.

The Foundation calls upon a committee of independent experts to choose the prize winner. The prize can be conditional, if the jury decides so, and consists of a sum of 30.000 _ for the laureate and 5.000 _ for the second and third prizes, as encouragement for the work undertaken. A further financial injection is envisaged in the second year.

• Projects active in the field of intercultural education that have made an important contribution to the development of harmonious relations in mixed regions.

• Projects involving at least two EU member
  or candidate member countries.

• Projects with a long-term vision and an innovating social influence.

• Projects that recognise the dynamics in cultures.

• Projects in their implementation phase in order to allow for evaluation.

Cannot be considered:

• Projects not operating in the sphere of intercultural education.

• Local or national projects.

• The funding of occasional events or the support of administrative costs.
