European Citizen’s Prize is being relaunched and revamped in 2020 for its 11th edition after its 2019 absence.

Since 2008, the European Parliament awards the European Citizen’s Prize every year to projects and initiatives that facilitate cross-border cooperation or promote mutual understanding within the EU. 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.

European Citizen’s Prize 2020

Opening of the exhibition on European Citizens' Prize 2012 and handing over of diplomas to winners

An interview with François-Xavier Priollaud, Vice-president of the Region of Normandy, filmed in the House of European History, Brussels. Mr. Priollaud begins by discussing the awarding of the 2012 Nobel Prize to the European Union, and how it recognised the Union’s success in bringing countries together voluntarily to achieve a lasting peace and progress for its citizens. He explains the idea behind the staging of The World Peace Forum in Normandy, the bringing together of people from all walks of life to discuss a global vision of peace. Normandy, scene of the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe towards the end of the second world war, he argues, is a very suitable venue for such a forum. Normans, he says, feel the weight of responsibility to its liberators to act towards guarding this peace. Finally he expresses joy at the partnership between Normandy and the European Parliament because of what the European Union does for peace.
