A special prize that is awarded annually by Propotsdam went to the "Plattenfix self-help bicycle workshop" project this year.

Tim Jäger and Jala el Jazairi took over the moderation, while Matondo Castlo designed the artistic framework and awarded the event with his presence of the event.
The allocation of the integration price not only offers recognition for excellent integration work, but also a platform for exchange on important social issues. The integration price, which was launched in 2005, emphasizes remarkable initiatives every year that contribute to promoting intercultural dialogue and social participation. The winners in 2024 were elected by an independent jury that consists of various experts and representatives of society.
The integrative work in Potsdam shows how important it is to create rooms for exchange and understanding. Events such as the Integration Award ceremony make it clear that each initiative makes a valuable contribution to the formation of an open and diverse society.
