Nominaties 2022

Winnaar Salim Benali

Op een zonovergoten eerste editie van het REBO Zomerfestival, op 23 juni 2022, zijn ook de Maatschappelijke Impact Prijzen van de faculteit uitgereikt. Jongerenwerker en student Salim Benali kreeg de prijs in de categorie studenten en het leerprogramma LinC (Leiderschap in Cultuur) in de categorie medewerkers. De Impact Prijs wordt jaarlijks uitgereikt om bijzondere projecten, initiatieven en acties te belichten die academisch onderwijs en onderzoek direct verbinden met de samenleving.

De toespraak van de jury was in het Engels, net als het juryrapport, daarom volgt nu Engelse tekst.
 

De jury over de student winnaar, Salim Benali

Because of its actual societal impact, outside the walls of our university, but strengthened by what happens within our faculty, in our classrooms, teaching and training, the jury has decided to award the students’ impact award to … Salim Benali, for his motivational work in Utrecht and Amersfoort! Salim is not only studying and making sure he will get his Ma-title, no, Salim feels a responsibility for enhancing the opportunities for other young people, who are less advantaged. His work might be small-scale, but he empowers others. The jury advises him to ‘scale up’ his interventions and hopes that this award will fuel the further institutionalization of what he is accomplishing. Salim, congratulations!

De jury over de medewerkers winnaar(s): LinC

Because of its ‘maturity’ and long-lasting impact, on a wide scale, in a sector which is fragile but so important for societal vitality, the jury has decided to award the staff impact award to a set of programs that link education or lifelong learning to knowledge and entrepreneurial action, that empower artistic leaders and artists, enhance leaders’ and artists’ mobility, and form local, regional, national and international networks, and that recently led to the performance by Kensington on the Dom church (linked to U900): the winner is LinC, Leadership in Culture externe link. A unique set of programs, with a unique combination of knowledge, content, didactics, and skills development, a team effort, and cross-disciplinary endeavor, that now exists for 10 years. The jury hopes this award will not only symbolize this 10-year anniversary, but also fuel the next 10 years. Congratulations to the LinC team, to Paul Adriaanse and his colleagues.

Het team van LinC bestaat uit: Paul Adriaanse, Iselien Nabben, Marcella Ponsen, Annelinde Schrijver, Marjolein Verhallen en Fleur Winnen.

De jury bestond uit: Mirko Noordegraaf (chair), Elisabetta Manunza, Maarten van Bottenburg, Hein Roelfsema, Paul Schoenmaker, Rebecca van Musscher (secretary)
