Three €5000 prizes available for Nuclear Abolition and Climate Engaged Youth (PACEY)

We received this exciting news from our colleagues at the Basel Peace Office in Switzerland.

Dear friends and colleagues,

Do you know of a youth project that addresses peace, nuclear disarmament and/or climate issues and that could be boosted by a prestigious award with €5000 in prize money to help it succeed?

If so, we encourage you to nominate it for the 2023 Peace, nuclear Abolition and Climate Engaged Youth (PACEY) Award. Nominations are easy. And if you are young and involved in such a project (or proposal), you can nominate it yourself. The deadline for nominations is December 30, 2022.

The award was established by Basel Peace Office in 2020 as a €5000 award for a European Youth Project. In 2021, the City of Basel (Switzerland) joined and added a prize of €5000 for Beyond Europe/Global Youth Project. And we are pleased to announce that from 2023, we are joined by the Reformed Evangelical Church of Basel-Stadt with support for another award of €5000 for a second Beyond Europe/Global Youth Project, making three awards in total.

Finalists in each category will present their projects/proposals at the PACEY Awards event which takes place online on January 20, in conjunction with Basel Peace Forum 2023 and the annual Basel Inter-generational Forum on Peace, Disarmament and Climate Action (hybrid events). Participants at the PACEY Awards event will vote to determine the three winners.
