BERLIN, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / May 25, 2023 / Ten grassroots initiatives have been named recipients of the prestigious Intercultural Innovation Hub during a ceremony in Berlin, Germany. A collaboration between the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the BMW Group, with the support of Accenture, the Intercultural Innovation Hub recognizes and supports grassroots initiatives that promote intercultural dialogue, and contribute to peace, cultural diversity, and inclusive societies.
