Moroccan Wins Qatar Global Award For Dialogue Among Civilizations

Moroccan researcher Abdelkrim Elkellali from Sidi Mohamed ben Abdellah University of Fez won on Monday the 2nd Qatar Global Award for Dialogue Among Civilizations.

Elkellali won for his paper “The role of the media in preventing hatred and building civilizational cooperation on the horizon of establishing cooperative civilizations,” according to the Qatari Committee for Alliance of Civilizations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which organized the 3rd edition with the theme “The role of Da’wah and the Media in Consolidating Values of Coexistence and Reducing Hatred Speech.”

He explained that the Scientific Committee and the external jury decided not to give the first prize “due to the lack of a work that met the requirements of quality that represent the award’s symbolic and financial significance.”

The researcher Ali bin Mubarak takes third place in this global prize, which is organized in collaboration with the University of Qatar and represented by the Chair of the Islamic World Organization for Education, Science and Culture (ISESCO) in the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies, for his work on “Hate speech and the problem of civilizational communication through Mohamed Amara’s reformist project.”
