The Diwan Awards aim to highlight individuals or organisations (associations, foundations, companies or institutions) that have a background of diversity or who have supported citizens from diverse backgrounds. Inspirational careers, individual or group actions undertaken by culturally diverse citizens (or whose members, partners or founders have such a cultural mix). To celebrate Belgium, its provinces, its institutions and municipalities, all of which have opened the doors to and demonstrated an Equal Opportunities policy which gets concrete results, as well as honouring the first generations and saluting ordinary citizens who have been examples of passing knowledge on – teaching, know-how, self-confidence… Another goal is to clearly provide a trustworthy source of inspiration to younger generations, who sometimes lack examples. Role models are the best ambassadors of Social and Professional Inclusion for urban youth. They look like them, sometimes come from the same neighbourhoods and environments and are therefore better able to reach them. In this sense, the identification process is at its best. Finally, we want this initiative to change attitudes and perceptions and acceptance of cultural diversity, not only in the world of business but in society in general by promoting diversity that is fulfilling, contributing and inspiring.
