1. What are the <strong>SOLIDAR</strong> <strong>Silver</strong> <strong>Rose</strong> <strong>Awards</strong>?<br />
The <strong>SOLIDAR</strong> <strong>Silver</strong> <strong>Rose</strong> <strong>Awards</strong> were launched in 2000 to raise awareness of<br />
organisations and individuals who have significantly contributed to improving social justice<br />
and equality around the world.<br />
Some winners are well-known personalities or organisations, but others are ordinary people<br />
leading extraordinary lives, making a difference through their work for the most vulnerable<br />
people in their societies, advocating their rights, campaigning for their needs, and providing<br />
essential services. As <strong>SOLIDAR</strong>’s member organisations and partners work on numerous<br />
projects with local partners both in Europe and around the world, outstanding examples of<br />
worthy recipients are not difficult to identify.<br />
The <strong>Awards</strong> are presented each year at a prestigious awards ceremony held at the European<br />
Parliament in Brussels. This year’s edition will take place in late spring <strong>2013</strong>.<br />
<strong>SOLIDAR</strong> is a European network of 59 NGOs active in over 90 countries working to advance social justice in Europe and<br />
worldwide. <strong>SOLIDAR</strong> voices the concerns of its member organisations to the EU and international institutions across the policy<br />
sectors social affairs, international cooperation and lifelong learning. For more info www.solidar.org
2. Guidelines for nominations<br />
Who can make a nomination?<br />
Everyone is welcome to make a nomination, especially member organisations or<br />
other organisations and individuals who actively support <strong>SOLIDAR</strong>'s work.<br />
Who can be nominated?<br />
Individuals and organisations whose outstanding work is fuelled by vision and tireless<br />
commitment and whose achievements have contributed greatly to the struggle for more social<br />
justice and equality, and who are in line or linked with the values shared within the <strong>SOLIDAR</strong><br />
network.<br />
Preference will be given to individuals or organisations working at local or national level in<br />
one or more of the following fields:<br />
- Campaigning for social justice, democracy and human rights. This could include<br />
campaigns for trade union rights, free speech, or freedom for the media. It could also<br />
include campaigns for improved social conditions.<br />
- Establishing hands-on projects to improve the conditions of minorities or<br />
disadvantaged people. This could include: projects which promote peace and<br />
reconciliation in troubled areas; projects which focus on training, employment, cultural<br />
activities, housing or the provision of social services; projects which promote improved<br />
access to information.<br />
Decisions will be made based on the level of synergy that the individual or organisation’s<br />
