SUMMARY:9th Geneva Engage Awards
DESCRIPTION:Event description\nThe Geneva Engage initiative\, launched by the Geneva Internet Platform (GIP) with the support of the Republic and Canton of Geneva in 2016\, assesses the interplay between International Geneva and stakeholders worldwide. The initiative includes research on how International Geneva actors communicate and create linkages with communities worldwide that are affected by the policy discussions in Geneva that span across various domains\, such as development\, human rights\, digital topics\, etc. \nIn this context\, the annual Geneva Engage Awards acknowledge the efforts of actors in International Geneva in digital outreach. The awards evaluate Geneva-based organisations’ social media engagement\, web relevance and accessibility\, and online meetings. We then give out awards in three main categories according to stakeholder groups: international organisations\, non-governmental organisations\, and permanent representations. \nA moment of change\nIn addition to the main categories\, we have special awards that recognise innovative ways actors can create meaningful engagement while adapting to the ever-changing digital ecosystem. \nIn 2020\, ahead of the COVID-induced remote working\, we foresaw the value of online conferencing and introduced the new Online Participation Award (now called Effective and Innovative Online Meeting Award). In 2022\, we recognised the importance of curating a more inclusive experience for all and introduced the Accessibility Award. \nThis year\, we aim to take a step back and reflect on what it means to create meaningful engagement. In this light\, this year’s event involves new activities to encourage brainstorming discussions and innovations. \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×Event programme\nBefore the award ceremony\, we invite participants to join us in situ and talk to our experts during interactive workshops.
