What is it about?
Appreciation of the Jury

Homeless people, who are typically only conceded a place on the margins of the city, are centrally positioned as city guides and can share their perspective of the city publicly. Through ‘Discover Prague in a Different Way’, they talk while others listen; others ask questions, while they give the answers. Self-empowerment that is also paid for. In addition, the realities of life as a homeless person are taken more seriously than before. Homeless people are moving from the margins a little more into broader society.
