Civil Society for Democracy: How We Counter Fake News and Division

PHINEO awards the "Wirkt-Siegel" to nonprofit organizations that demonstrate outstanding effectiveness in promoting democracy, diversity, and fact-based education. The award honors projects that stand out for their innovative approaches, measurable impact, and high quality, whether local or nationwide, digital or analogue.

The "Wirkt-Siegel" stands for transparency, impact, and trust. It recognizes initiatives that combat discrimination, offer educational programs to strengthen democracy, or actively counter disinformation through media literacy and fact-checking.

The award ceremony at Publix offers inspiring insights into impactful civic engagement and highlights how nonprofit projects can foster democratic values and social cohesion in the long term.
