Overwhelming reactions, dozens of congratulations, perseverance. So you can summarize the many responses to the Carinthian Human Rights Award 2017, which have reached us, representing here those of the Carinthian Deputy Governor Beate Prettner: Dear Denk.Raum.Fresach team, “They give us wings with this award and give us motivation to continue along this path together with you.” In your acceptance speech at the presentation of the Carinthian Human Rights Award 2017, you, dear Mr. Superintendent, expressed this wonderful sentence. This is a phrase that shows once again which “wingbeats” they think and act limitlessly. The Denk.Raum.Fresach bursts the room in his actions. Cross-border dialogues on issues of civil society, tolerance, migration, coexistence are particularly in demand in those days that want to increasingly narrow and shrink … I have to thank the initiative for its encouraging and exemplary commitment and congratulations on the Human Rights Award 2017! Denk-Raum-Fresach – a worthy winner! Yours sincerely, Beate Prettner, Deputy Governor photo: Kleine Zeitung, Helmuth Weichselbraun
