Benutzer:Beate-Sarah/Shalom Prize
The Arbeitskreis Shalom für Gerechtigkeit und Frieden (Shalom Work Group for Justice and Peace) of the Student Convention at the Catholic University of Eichsttätt-Ingolstadt has presented the Shalom Prize since 1982 to people or projects that demonstrate outstanding commitment to human rights.
1. Shalom Task Force for Justice and Peace
Inspired by the international Justitia et Pax movement, the work group was founded in 1981 by students. The work group is conceived as a human rights organisation. Today, it consists of students at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt and citizens of Eichstätt. All work is done on an honorary basis. The work group is legally recognized as an organ of the Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. The work group wishes to make a commitment to world peace and promote human rights. The members strive to achieve this goal through a conscious way of life, awareness-raising measures such as church masses, vigils and seminars etc. as well as the annual presentation of the Shalom Prize.
2. Shalom Prize
The Shalom Prize is both an honorary and material award presented annually by the Work Group for Justice and Peace to an outstanding person or group on behalf of an oppressed people or minority. The prize honours people who distinguish themselves by:
- their human nature
- committing their lives and personal freedom
- their commitment to justice, peace, freedom for all, solidarity with the oppressed and tolerance
- their commitment to a just economic order, democracy and protecting the environment and thus helping to achieve and promote human rights. The Shalom Prize comes with a bourse of €5,000 minimum and is funded from donations. More than €15,000 have been collected in recent years. The prize money normally benefits a specific project proposed by the prize winner. After the presentation, the work group force continues to receive regular reports about the project and its work.
