Each year, professionals from higher learning institutions are able to nominate talented students for the ECHO Award. The ECHO Award is an initiative of ECHO, Expertise Centre for Diversity Policy that honors students of color in higher education and young professionals for their outstanding efforts and work that contribute to the advancement of Diversity and Inclusion. The prize creates opportunities for students to achieve an equal starting position and contributes to a dialogue that recognizes societal challenges and illustrates the power of diversity.<\/p>\n

When the ECHO Award was first presented more than 20 years ago, diversity was still a new theme. Stories of students with a non-western background* were hardly visible and the social debate was mainly focused on problems of diversity. <\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Diversity & Inclusion has become mainstream and the current generation of students is creating more and more space to discuss topics such as institutional racism. For the ECHO Award 2023, the jury is therefore looking for candidates who can make the next step in the social debate and will actively take their role as ECHO Ambassador.<\/p>\n

The winners will be rewarded with a fully catered Summercourse at UCLA in the United States in 2024. They are chosen by an independent jury chaired by Kathleen Ferrier, Chair of the Dutch UNESCO Commission.<\/p>\n

Elk jaar kunnen professionals van instellingen voor hoger onderwijs getalenteerde studenten nomineren voor de ECHO Award. De ECHO Award is een initiatief van ECHO, Expertisecentrum voor Diversiteitsbeleid dat studenten van kleur in het hoger onderwijs en jonge professionals eert voor hun uitstekende inspanningen en werk dat bijdraagt aan de bevordering van diversiteit en inclusie. \u00a0De prijs cre\u00ebert kansen voor studenten om een gelijkwaardige uitgangspositie te bereiken en draagt bij aan een dialoog die maatschappelijke uitdagingen erkent en de kracht van diversiteit illustreert.<\/p>

Toen de ECHO Award meer dan 20 jaar geleden voor het eerst werd uitgereikt, was diversiteit nog een nieuw thema. Verhalen van studenten met een niet-westerse achtergrond* waren nauwelijks zichtbaar en het maatschappelijk debat ging vooral over diversiteitsproblemen<\/p>

Inmiddels is Diversiteit &Inclusie mainstream geworden en cre\u00ebert de huidige generatie studenten steeds meer ruimte om onderwerpen als institutioneel racisme te bespreken. Voor de ECHO Award 2023 is de jury daarom op zoek naar kandidaten die de volgende stap kunnen zetten in het maatschappelijk debat en actief hun rol als ECHO-ambassadeur gaan opnemen.<\/p>

De winnaars worden beloond met een volledig verzorgde Summercourse aan de UCLA in de Verenigde Staten in 2024. Ze worden gekozen door een onafhankelijke jury onder voorzitterschap van Kathleen Ferrier, voorzitter van de Nederlandse UNESCO Commissie.<\/p>
