The Freedom Prize

From June 2018, the Normandy Region, in partnership with the academic authorities and the International Institute of Human Rights and Peace, will create a new international peace, freedom and human rights education scheme: the Freedom Prize.

The Freedom Prize is open to young people from around the world aged 15 to 25. It is an educational initiative in 3 stages which encourages young people’s involvement throughout the entire process, either as part of their education and training or in their own time.

As part of its educational aim, focused on remembrance, the Freedom Prize can also be part of teachers’ and trainers’ educational projects, responding to the various objectives of the school curriculum and adapting easily to multidisciplinary work.

It consists of activities which could encourage educational projects to be co-ordinated by teachers and tutors.

This initiative consists of 3 stages:

1. A call for applications to nominate public figures or organisations from 6 June 2018 to 15 January 2019
2. A panel of judges to choose three finalist candidates 8 and 9 February 2019
3. A digital vote to choose the winner From 27 to 31 March 2019

Once the winner has been chosen, the Freedom Prize prizegiving ceremony will be held in Normandy in June 2019.
