… and the winner of the audience award is….

We warmly congratulate the Hungarian project "Pferdinands Trostbox" on winning the SocialMarie Audience Award 2025. 

Children and young people often experience the loss of loved ones, but grief is difficult to process in society. Suppressing grief can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder, causing long-term emotional and psychosomatic consequences. Supporting children through grief is vital, and the challenge is to provide an accessible, healing process for them to cope with their emotions in a healthy way.

Warm congratulations to this innovative project from Austria, which receives € 1.000 for training and development purposes.  

The question remains whether your favourite project will be awarded one of the SozialMarie jury prizes. Find out at the award ceremony on May 1st at 6:oo pm at the Theater Muth in Vienna. Click here to register.
