Intercultural Innovation Award

In 2017 the ‘Buddy Up’ programme got the attention of the United Nations Alliance of Civilisations (UNAOC) and the BMW Group. The Buddy Up programme, delivered with Community partner, CRIS, led to international recognition in the form of third place in a global competition that received over 1300 applications. The Intercultural Innovation Award will see the practice that was developed and disseminated by both schools – reach other post conflict societies such as Israel and Pakistan.
