The jury assigned the 2024 edition of the award to the EGTC Eurodistrict Saar Moselle for its Babylingua project. Within this project, in September 2023, Franco-German local and regional authorities created a cross-border crèche/kindergarten.
Supported by the European Regional Development Fund, the nursery offers 133 children from both sides of the border the opportunity to grow up in a bilingual and bicultural environment from the earliest age. The educational programme combines elements of both educational systems.
An honorary mention was given to the Czech and Polish EGTC Novum. Their project Together for Ukraine aims at the integration of war refugees in the cross-border area.
