The point of the Award is to “encourage them to ‘feel in touch’ with themselves, others, their material surroundings, the group, the environment and life itself.” It believes feelings of “connectedness” is the solution to society’s ills. This year, the Living Care Center was the recipient of the award.
Out of 92 nominees, the Center’s project “Birds on the Floor,” won because it encourages young people, senior citizens, and others to fly from their problems.
10,000 euros were given to the Center from the King Baudouin foundation.
