Since 2008 the European Parliament with the European Citizen Prize‘s each year awards people or organizations for relevant projects they have carried out that facilitated:
– integration between citizens of the Member States or facilitating cross-border or transnational cooperation within the European Union
– cultural cooperation contributing to the strengthening of a European spirit
The prize, which has symbolic value, is also intended to acknowledge the work of those who through their day-to-day activities promote European values.
In addition to the abovementioned areas, citizens and organisations are also encouraged to nominate projects dealing with the fight against the coronavirus.
