Introduction
Since 2017, the seventh edition of the Awards for Innovation in Politics have recognized creative European public initiatives that favor people and democracy.
Details
The seventh edition of the annual Innovation in Politics Awards will distinguish 80 projects of best practices across 7 categories (Climate Protection Democracy, Democracy Technologies, Education, Administration Improvement, Local Development, Party Innovation, and Social Cohesion). A European-level citizen jury, composed of 1,086 members, has selected ten finalists and one winner for each category. Round tables, debate panels, and presentations will offer numerous opportunities to meet and establish contacts with an audience of nearly five hundred innovative political figures from across Europe. In addition to the well-deserved recognition, the winners will have access to a prominent platform that will allow them to showcase their remarkable achievements and expand their networks with new connections.
The Finalists
The Innovation in Politics Institute has announced the finalist projects of the Innovation in Politics Awards, which since 2017 recognize courageous and creative public initiatives from across Europe that positively impact people's lives and strengthen democracy. Two projects driven by the Barcelona City Council, B-MINCOME, and housing cooperatives, are finalists. On the one hand, the B-MINCOME project, which integrates comprehensive poverty alleviation measures combining financial support with active socio-labor inclusion policies, is a finalist in the Local Development category, while the other finalist project, housing cooperatives, a pioneering project promoting cooperative housing in lease of use, which has been promoted by the Barcelona City Council with the entity Sostre Cívic, is in the Social Cohesion category. A total of 334 projects have been submitted, from 26 countries, 70 of which have reached the final stage.
The winning projects will be announced at the international gala to be held in Barcelona on May 2nd, as part of the European Capital of Democracy.
The citizen jury, composed of more than a thousand citizens from across Europe, has highlighted these projects based on criteria of innovation, sustainability, and impact.
