UNAOC and BMW Group Announce the 10 Recipients of the Intercultural Innovation
Hub

BERLIN, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / May 25, 2023 / Ten grassroots initiatives have
been named recipients of the prestigious Intercultural Innovation Hub during a
ceremony in Berlin, Germany. A collaboration between the United Nations
Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the BMW Group, with the support of
Accenture, the Intercultural Innovation Hub recognizes and supports grassroots
initiatives that promote intercultural dialogue, and contribute to peace,
cultural diversity, and inclusive societies.

This year, organizations from Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, Guatemala,
Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Mexico, and South Africa were selected. Their
projects range from fostering diversity and inclusion, to promoting gender
equality, to advancing art and sports for social change.

"Civil society is evolving in dynamic and impactful ways, with
grassroots-level innovations at the forefront of driving meaningful change.
The organizations we recognized through the Intercultural Innovation Hub
exemplify just that. We are proud to amplify their contribution to diversity,
mutual respect, and inclusion. Further, we celebrate our lasting collaboration
with BMW Group as we continue to connect, empower, and elevate these
grassroots initiatives," said Miguel Ángel Moratinos, UN
Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for UNAOC.

"At the BMW Group, we recognize that intercultural understanding enriches the
communities we are acting in. That is why we are so proud of our strong
partnership with UNAOC. The Intercultural Innovation Hub enables us to
highlight some of the remarkable cross-cultural work being done worldwide. Our
commitment to the recipients includes relevant resources we can offer that can
promote these initiatives. This can make the crucial difference in turning an
idea into practice that evolves local communities and improves people's
lives," said Ilka Horstmeier, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG
