We are delighted to announce the launch, in partnership with the United Nations University (UNU), of the first Phoenix Award. Named after the mythical creature that rises from the ashes, it celebrates the achievements of resilience.
On September 4, 2024, the Institute, in partnership with the UNU and its partners, will reward the eight refugee athletes taking part in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games - Salman Abbariki, Guillaume Junior Atangana, Hadi Darvish, Amelio Castro Grueso, Hadi Hassanzada, Sayed Amir Hossein Hosseini, Ibrahim Al Hussein and Zakia Khudadadi - for their perseverance and extraordinary performances. It also symbolizes the promise to support their educational needs after the Games.
The Learning Planet Institute believes that lifelong learning is a human right, which is why it will provide each of the Phoenix Award winners with free online and face-to-face educational resources, carefully tailored to their needs and desires, to support them in their future, beyond the Paralympic Games.
