UNICEF is providing support for the presentation of the annual Alexander Bodini Foundation children’s awards, which honour child-led organizations that have successfully and meaningfully contributed to creating a world fit for children.
The 2011 San Marino-Alexander Bodini Foundation Children’s Awards will comprise a grant of US$20,000 for each finalist. The awards will be presented at an event to be held in New York City in February 2011 in the presence of members of the Government of San Marino and of UNICEF. During the awards event, a message from the children who lead the organizations may be read or shown, and a brief audio-visual presentation highlighting the achievements of the previous year’s recipients will be shown.
The UNICEF offices from where the award recipient organizations are selected will also receive US$10,000 each from the Alexander Bodini Foundation towards the promotion of children’s participation and civic engagement.
