The "We Are Together" International Prize

The "We Are Together" International Prize is a hallmark initiative aimed at fostering collaboration and celebrating individuals and organisations that drive impactful humanitarian and social projects.

The Prize honors initiatives that address the most pressing challenges of our time, including poverty, inequality, and access to education and healthcare. By bringing together leaders from government, business, academia, and civil society, the Prize has become a platform for recognising and amplifying impactful projects from around the world.

The 2024 forum was an extraordinary five-day event, combining recognition of global leaders with an immersive program designed to inspire action and innovation.

This forum followed an extensive program that spanned several days. The business and cultural program featured interactive discussions, expert panels, workshops, and inspiring cultural performances, all aimed at addressing critical humanitarian and social issues. The event also allowed for networking of participants from over 40 countries.

Reflection from Gisel

“Being recognised as an International Ambassador while pursuing my studies at HSE gave me the unique opportunity to represent both my country and the University. It was incredible to connect with so many passionate people working toward a common goal of making the world a better place”, — Gisel shared.

She also added that this opportunity was especially meaningful to her, as it built upon her previous connection to the Prize in 2022, when she was a finalist with the project, "Rage Against Violence", which was directed as part of the international youth leadership network Future Team Mexico.

Master’s programme “Arts and Culture Management” proudly celebrates Gisel Sarahi Vergara Herrera's achievements and her active participation in such a significant international event. Her success underscores the values of innovation, cultural leadership, and social responsibility that the programme strives to cultivate in its students.
