PACEY Award
The PACEY Award provides three annual awards of €5000 each for youth projects relating to international peace, nuclear abolition and/or climate protection. The winners are decided and the awards given at the annual Intergenerational Forum on Climate, Peace and Nuclear Abolition which Basel Peace Office organises as part of the Basel Peace Forum.
Nominations for the 2027 PACEY Award
Nominations for the 2027 Peace, nuclear Abolition and Climate Engaged Youth (PACEY) Award will open in September 2026.
Do you know of a youth project that addresses peace, nuclear disarmament and/or climate issues, and that could be boosted by a prestigious award with €5000 in prize money to help it succeed? If so, we encourage you to nominate it for the 2027 PACEY Award.
Nominations are easy. And if you are young and involved in such a project, you can nominate it yourself. Nominations open in September. The deadline for nominations is December 31, 2026.
