The Today Public Policy Institute (TPPI), Malta’s only independent and non-partisan think-tank, announced the details of the call for nominations for the 2016 Peter Serracino Inglott Award for Civic Thinking and Engagement in honour of the much-loved Father Peter Serracino Inglott, a founder member of the think-tank, who died in 2012. Father Peter was, during his lifetime, one of Malta’s foremost thinkers – he was a philosopher, theologian, academic, writer, mentor and priest.  Reflecting the Aristotelian idea that thinking is completed by action, one of the areas closest to Father Peter’s heart was civic participation and creative social innovation.  

The Peter Serracino Inglott Award is awarded annually to any individual or organisation that, in the opinion of the Judging Panel, makes an outstanding and significant contribution to civic thinking and engagement in a Maltese context. Civic thinking, civic participation and civic engagement are those individual or collective actions or thinking which identify and address issues of public concern. They epitomise the process of working together to make a positive difference to the life of our communities.

The Award will be made in recognition of a range of issues. For example, those addressing social or environmental causes, the effective implementation of social action, an important contribution to education or public policy, any innovation that makes a marked improvement to the quality of life of our society. The scope has deliberately been made wide to cover any initiative or project which has as its focus civic engagement.

The TPPI will present the Award for 2016 in November.All nominations for the 2016 Award should be submitted to The Today Public Policy Institute by not later than 30 June 2016.
