As only seemed right, Stefan’s lively, engaging worldview was transmitted live to the Routes audience via Skype on the night. He announced his decision to share his prize with <strong>Juliane Männel</strong> for her work on <em><a target="_blank" href="http://www.rimini-protokoll.de/website/en/project_3767.html" rel="noopener"><strong>Radio Muezzin</strong></a></em> and with <strong>Jörg Karrenbauer</strong>  for his work on <em><a target="_blank" href="http://www.rimini-protokoll.de/website/en/project_108.html" rel="noopener"><strong>Cargo Sofia</strong></a></em>, the project singled out for praise by the Routes jury.<br class="yz87w0odxciwb6750"/></p><p class="yz87w0odxciwb6750"><strong>The ceremony</strong></p> <p class="yz87w0odxciwb6750"></p> <p class="yz87w0odxciwb6750"><strong>From left to right</strong>:  Borka Pavicevic, Juliane Männel, Jörg Karrenbauer, HRH Pirncess Margriet and Aldith Hunkar, our moderator for the evening.© Edelweiss</p> </div></div><div class="titleBox"><h4>The speeches</h4><div class="caseItem"> <p class="yz87w0odxciwb6750">The <strong><a title="Borka Pavi膰evi膰 laureate film" onclick="viewAlbum('37')" href="#album37">Borka Pavi膰evi膰 laureate film</a></strong> and <strong><a title="Stefan Kaegi Laureate film" onclick="viewAlbum('38')" href="#album38">Stefan Kaegi laureate film</a></strong> are now available.  <br class="yz87w0odxciwb6750"/><br class="yz87w0odxciwb6750"/>You can read the full version of the opening adress by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.eurocult.org/uploads/docs/1427.pdf" rel="noopener"><strong>Princess Laurentien</strong></a>, the moving speech by laureate <a target="_blank" href="https://www.eurocult.org/uploads/docs/1426.pdf" rel="noopener"><strong>Borka Pavicevic</strong></a>, and the laudatio by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.eurocult.org/uploads/docs/1429.pdf" rel="noopener"><strong>Princess Margriet</strong></a>.</p> <p class="yz87w0odxciwb6750">A panel discussion involving <strong>Ed Kronenburg</strong>, <strong>Xavier Troussard</strong> and <strong>Jan Goossens</strong> made the point that politicians should repeatedly describe cultural diversity as a strength rather than a weakness; at the same time, rather than simply being used as an empty rhetorical phrase, cultural diversity must be actively engaged with at all levels. Art provides the quickest shortcut to the questioning of prejudices.</p></div></div> <p class="yz87w0odxciwb6750">For info on last year’s laureates, including trailers and photos, click <strong><a href="https://www.eurocult.org/we-focus-on/routes-award-2009/routes-award-2008/">here</a></strong>.</p> <p class="yz87w0odxciwb6750">The award is a fitting tribute to the work of ECF’s former President, HRH Princess Margriet of the Netherlands, who was at the ECF helm for 24 years.
