Every year since 2011, the Convergences Awards reward projects that are initiated by public, private and solidarity partnerships seeking to build a fair and sustainable world.
The Convergences Awards are open to projects carried by a solidarity-based organization in partnership with a public and/or private organization. The project must also have a high social and/or environmental impact; it must also be innovative and replicable.
