With its diverse range of responsibilities, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration Baden-Württemberg is the central ministry of society within the state government. With "ECHT GUT!" the state honours voluntary commitment in 7 plus 1 categories.
The award has been presented for several years now. However, a younger, more modern approach to the competition was supposed to bring a fresh breeze into the commitment scene a few years ago and give new motivation.
Civic engagement unites many volunteers who all have one goal: all people of all ages should find their place in the community and be able to develop. When we received the assignment, it was immediately clear to us that everyone is part of a whole – and that's also what the prize, the trophy, must look like. Volunteering is diverse, volunteering is colourful and fortunately the colour palette is large. We have to reach as many people as possible.
