Communication for Peace Award
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
The World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) promotes communication for social change. It believes that communication is a basic human right that defines people’s common humanity, strengthens cultures, enables participation, creates community, and challenges tyranny and oppression. Being WACC means ‘taking sides’.
WACC will present a Communication for Peace Award during its 2008 Congress in Cape Town, South Africa, to a woman or man who has consistently, dynamically and creatively demonstrated the value of communication for peace in a particular context. Consistent with WACC’s Christian Principles of Communication, she or he will be a person of faith and be recognised as a public voice of conscience.
