GMAP 2024 honoured the nine programmes on conflict prevention and resolution
The Global Media Peace Awards 2024 concluded on 26 November 2024 with an online award ceremony bringing together media creators from across the globe. Organized by Executive Education HEC Montréal and the Pale Blue Dot Foundation, this ambitious initiative marked a significant step forward in using media as a vector for peace, resilience, and global understanding.
With 189 submissions for the Radio, Television, and Digital Media categories, the event highlighted a growing enthusiasm for stories and messages that transcend conflict, inspire hope, and foster dialogue. The GMPA honours the commitment of journalists and media producers to addressing global challenges for peace-building through innovative and inclusive solutions that embody universal values such as peace, tolerance, and resilience.
