socioMovens receives prize Youth laureates explain work

Oct 1

Frohloff introduces socioMovens as the 2026 youth laureate, followed by a film about its Central and Eastern European youth camps, social projects and solidarity. Cardinal Michael Czerny's full laudation advocates dialogue, reconciliation, a moral compass and social responsibility; he invokes the Westphalian settlement and quotes Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV in arguing that Europe needs a soul. He specifically recalls Francis's European Parliament address in Strasbourg twelve years earlier and its call to retain Europe's religious and spiritual roots. Zinkann reads the dated October 1, 2026 citation and the award is presented to Ana Novotni, Gábor Reisz and Daria Maria Lung. In the complete follow-up interview, Novotni describes volunteering as reciprocal learning and recalls a formative 2023 project; Lung explains how a Brussels and European Parliament visit showed her that young people's voices matter; Reisz describes recognizing suffering and a European support network. Zinkann presents commemorative pins and Frohloff closes the segment. The historical passage in the working tracks renders Czerny's date as 1668; that wording is retained as a transcript discrepancy rather than silently assigned to the 1648 event as a verified date.

At Münster's October 1, 2026 Peace of Westphalia ceremony, socioMovens receives the youth prize for cross-border social engagement and European understanding. Czerny delivers the laudation, Zinkann reads the dated citation, and Ana Novotni, Gábor Reisz and Daria Maria Lung accept for the network and explain their volunteering experiences. Wüst's opening and Zinkann's closing frame that work as trust and peace lived across borders. This is the youth presentation, distinct from NATO's main award.
