Smart Hero Award
Project
Social media helps facilitate volunteer work and civic engagement. Numerous initiatives use platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and others to draw attention to their actions and causes. This enables them to gain supporters and motivate others to participate in realizing their projects.
The Smart Hero Award was established in 2014 to honor projects and initiatives that use social media for social engagement. Over its ten-year history, 165 projects and individuals were recognized as "Smart Heroes" for their efforts in the categories of "Social Action," "Democratic Participation," and "Sustainable Economy." The award celebrated a diverse range of initiatives that leverage social media to promote their causes and drive positive societal change.
Aim of the project
The goal of the Smart Hero Award was to promote and recognize voluntary and social engagement. "Smart" represents the clever use of social media to foster recognition, respect, and tolerance.
The task of the Stiftung Digitale Chancen was the conceptual and administrative implementation of the competition, as well as the network project “Smart Hero Community,” which included all nominees and award winners.
