About the Simone Veil Prize:
The Simone Veil Prize is a new, annual European cultural award co-funded under the Creative Europe Programme.
The prize will recognize projects and initiatives, from local communities to cross-border collaborations, that engage with Jewish cultural heritage to foster dialogue and inclusion, promote deeper knowledge and understanding of European history, raise awareness of cultural diversity, and strengthen a shared sense of European cultural identity.
The prize honours the legacy of Simone Veil (1927-2017), a Jewish Holocaust survivor who dedicated her life to reconciliation, passionately promoting human rights and European unity. As the first female president of the European Parliament, she campaigned against antisemitism and fought for a unified Europe of shared ideas, making her a powerful symbol of the values this prize seeks to celebrate.
