klicksafe award 2021klicksafe award 2021 - Strong against prejudice: Winning formats have been determined
The SWR report series "Naber? Was geht!" receives the klicksafe award 2021 - Strong against prejudice. With its empowering and inspiring stories about young women with Turkish and Kurdish roots, the project particularly convinced the jury of media experts. The public online vote for the "PublikumsLike" was won by the Riccardo Simonetti Initiative. The initiative aims to raise awareness and give visibility to marginalized groups of people.
Düsseldorf/Ludwigshafen, August 10, 2021 - The EU initiative klicksafe is honoring media engagement against prejudice as part of the annual theme "Disinformation": It is awarding the klicksafe prize 2021 to two online offerings that debunk stereotypes and enemy images through education using facts and personal perspectives of those affected. This year, the established prize of the expert jury will again be supplemented by the "PublikumsLike". This is the 15th award of the klicksafe prize and the second for which public voting was possible.
Winner format of the klicksafe award 2021, award category expert jury: Naber? What works!
The klicksafe award 2021 of the expert jury goes to SWR and its social media project "Naber? What works! - Your way, your story".
The reportage series tells the biographies of young women with Turkish and Kurdish immigration stories in ten-minute YouTube portraits and on an associated Instagram channel, thus creating a surface for identification.
This year, the independent jury of experts consisted of:
- Saba-Nur Cheema, head of pedagogical education at the Anne Frank Educational Center.
- Jonathan Focke, deputy head of Quarks Digital
- Nadine Eikenbusch, media educator and speaker at klicksafe
Winning project of the klicksafe award 2021, award class AudienceLike: Riccardo Simonetti Initiative
The "PublikumsLike" as part of the klicksafe Award 2021 goes to the team of the Riccardo Simonetti Initiative.
The initiative, founded in January 2021, wants to create a place where everyone feels understood, heard and taken seriously. To this end, it does educational work on Instagram and in the analog world, conveys information, raises awareness and creates visibility for marginalized and disadvantaged groups of people.
The "PublikumsLike" was first offered in 2020 and has now been awarded for the second time. Votes for the award have been cast on the klicksafe website since July 20, 2021.
In addition to the winning projects, both award categories were also nominated:
- What you don't see: Since 2020, the Instagram account has made structural everyday racism in Germany visible and given those affected a platform. At the same time, all users are encouraged to reflect on their own - possibly unconsciously racist - behavior.
- The best instance: In response to the WDR program "Die letzte Instanz," in which an all-white panel discussed racism, among other things, comedienne Enissa Amani produced her own YouTube show in which she talks to experts on the topics of racism, antiziganism and anti-Semitism.
- Datteltäter: Fighting stereotypes with humor is the goal of the self-proclaimed "Satire Caliphate" on funk. On YouTube and in the social networks, the creators take aim at cultural clichés and deal with the German-Muslim self-image.
Dr. Tobias Schmid, Director of the Landesanstalt für Medien NRW:
"The world is complex, but thinking in terms of prejudices is too simplistic. Offerings that take the time to clear them up, provide education and increase visibility are therefore actually worthy of an award per se. I'm delighted that this year we've been able to win the klicksafe award for "Naber? What's up!" and the Riccardo Simonetti Initiative award and congratulate you warmly."
