European Charlemagne Youth Prize 2023
In 2023, the first prize went to Ailem from Belgium - a language app tailored for refugees and asylum seekers and developed in consultation with them. It includes useful phrases, language learning stories and games, as well as ways to connect to other users and it aims to break down intercultural misunderstandings and gaps between refugees and their host country.
