#PRIF@School_Award
The #PRIF@School_Award aims to award innovative and creative work and projects every two years on changing thematic focuses that deal with topics of peace and conflict research in local, national and international contexts. With this competition, PRIF aims to strengthen civic education on peace and conflict research topics in Hessian schools.
The next call for applications will take place in summer 2026 for the 2026/27 school year.
The award winners were selected by a jury of representatives from academia, schools, political education and civic engagement.
Every project starts with an idea. For its implementation, materials and literature need to be acquired. Libraries do not only provide the necessary literature, but also offer training on research and information use. Most public and university libraries offer special formats for school classes.
The PRIF library is also open for use by all students. Individual library introductions and research assistance are usually available spontaneously within opening hours. Research materials can also be looked up in advance in the PRIF library catalog. Classes are invited to visit the library by appointment and in smaller groups.
The school award has been initiated by the network PRIF@School.
The award 2022 as well as 2024 was sponsored by the Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW) .
