What is it about?
Appreciation of the Jury

People are mobilised to participate in shaping the world they live in. Many hope for a better world – this Slovenian innovation commits to concretisation. It tries to oblige people to transform their own ideas and words – the "promises" – into deeds. Individual social responsibility and personal engagement are to be strengthened, with plenty of room for personal initiative. At the same time, everyone who ventures to make such a "promise" is subject to appraisal by others. The expectations that have been created now act as reinforcements. What and if I make my words come true becomes visible.
