KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 (Bernama) -- The Intercultural Innovation Hub, a joint initiative between the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the BMW Group, is calling for projects that promote an inclusive and diverse society.
In a statement, UNAOC said organisations promoting diversity, integration and social inclusion are invited to become part of the hub and benefit from comprehensive support to expand the social impact of their projects.
The Intercultural Innovation Hub is focused on supporting projects that promote gender equality, counter violent extremism, hatred, and prejudice, and advocate for art, culture and sports as vectors for social cohesion and diversity via financial support for sustainable growth.
It also provides a one-year capacity-building programme and membership to the “Intercultural Leaders” community.
To leverage the social impact of the selected projects, up to 10 finalists will receive up to US$20,000 each to help their initiative scale up sustainably, UNAOC said. (US$1=RM4.74)
In addition, UNAOC and BMW Group, with the support of Accenture, will provide the recipients with a year-long series of capacity-building workshops and customised support.
Interested organisations should submit their applications before Dec 2, 2022, at www.interculturalinnovation.org.
Since 2011, UNAOC and the BMW Group have worked with leaders and organisations from around the globe to tackle intercultural challenges through social innovations.
