Ubuntu Lecture and Dialogue Awards
As Turquoise Harmony Institute we host an award program titled Ubuntu Lecture and Dialogue Awards”. Before presenting awards, a prominent leader of society and thought presents an Ubuntu Lecture and the the receipients are presented with the awards. Annual dialogue awards are meant as recognition of individuals’ contribution to establishment and progress of peace, dialogue and social cohesion in society.
These awards are given in various categories such as Interfaith, art, media, academia, sports, community work, human rights and Gulen Peace award. Gulen Peace award was named after the Turkish Scholar Fethullah Gulen whose speeches and writings provided inspiration to millions to engage in such education and dialogue projects. Schools and intercultural dialogue organizations have been established in Turkey and then expanded to many parts of the world. Our organization also gets its inspirations mainly from his teachings.
