Copyright: Raoul Wallenberg Academy and Nils Larsson About this toolkit Broaden and develop your work on human rights by engaging young people in a social media campaign on moral courage. The Young Courage Award is given to young people between the ages of 13 and 20 who, with small resources, have made a great human difference and shown evidence of moral courage and commitment. Originally introduced in 2015 by the Raoul Wallenberg Academy, the award is a non-political recognition that commemorates the altruistic deeds carried out by Raoul Wallenberg in the final years of WWII.
International nomination period Every year from 27 January to 31 March.
Official ceremony Every year on Raoul Wallenberg Remembrance Day, 27 August.
Contact person Anna Maria Bernitz, annamaria.bernitz@si.se
Target audience 13-20 year-olds.
How to use Young courage award The material included in this toolkit enables Swedish embassies and consulates to launch their own local nominations campaign and to organize physical and/or digital events, highlighting the importance of human rights and moral courage.
Nominations for the Young courage award are made digitally through a campaign on social media. For this, SI has compiled several easy-to-use communication components, such as social media posts and video material, which Swedish embassies freely has at its disposal.

Nomination process in brief The international nominations campaign opens once per year on January 27 and coincides with the Holocaust Remembrance Day. This is also to make visible the award’s affiliation with Raoul Wallenberg’s deeds. The call is open just over 8 weeks (up to and including 31 March).
The nominations are then collected and preliminary assessed by the foreign mission, who forwards a list of maximum 30 nominees to the Raoul Wallenberg Academy jury in Stockholm.
Potential recipients (a maximum of two per country) are presented by the end of May, followed by the official ceremony in Stockholm on the occasion of the Raoul Wallenberg Remembrance Day, 27 August. Apart from official diplomas, the recipients will also be invited for a ‘travel in Raoul’s footsteps’.
Get inspired The Embassy of Sweden in Paris carried though the Young Courage Award in 2021-2022 and made this video during the grand finale. Check out when 15 Young Courage Award laureates from Spain, Hungary, France and Sweden met in Stockholm 25-28 August 2022 to take part in workshops and the prize ceremony.

The Embassy of Sweden in Madrid also carried through the Young Courage Award in 2021-2022 and put together a video interview with laureate Sara Morales Garcia and the Swedish Embassador to Spain, Teppo Tauriainen.
