Webcast: 2019 Global Pluralism Award Ceremony

The Global Pluralism Award, an initiative of the Global Centre for Pluralism (GCP), recognises the remarkable achievements of individuals, organisations, and governments tackling the challenge of living peacefully and productively with diversity.

Earlier this year, GCP announced 10 finalists for the 2019 Global Pluralism Award, from Canada, the United States, Lebanon, Hungary, Ghana, France, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Myanmar and several countries of the former Yugoslavia — all making vital contributions to pluralism, mainly through peacebuilding, the arts, education, social cohesion and integration of refugees and migrants.

“At a time of heightened hatred and escalating tensions in communities around the globe, these winners embody the best of humanity,” said the Right Honourable Joe Clark, former Prime Minister of Canada and Jury Chair. “The emphasis on pluralism is much more important now than ever. In only a few years, we have moved from a time in which there was, at least, a general acceptance of difference, to a time where there is fear about it, and very often a contesting of it.”

The ceremony will be webcast at the.ismaili/live.
