4 December 2019, New York<\/em> \u2013 The Alexandrion Foundation has continued the tradition of the Constantin Br\u00e2ncoveanu International Awards in the United States. At the elegant gala held at Gotham Hall on 3 December 2019, global personalities in music, visual arts, architecture, medicine, science and politics were honoured. Hundreds of people from the leading fields of the day attended the event, confirming the worldwide stature of the Constantin Br\u00e2ncoveanu Awards. Similar events are held in Romania, where they have reached the 6th edition, and also in the Diaspora, where editions have so far taken place in London, Munich and Paris. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Nawaf Salameh, President and Founder of the Alexandrion Foundation and Alexandrion Group, gave a speech at the opening of the second edition of the Constantin Br\u00e2ncoveanu International Awards Gala, in which he stressed the importance of keeping role models of achievement before young people, of everyone’s involvement in reaching the optimal point of sustainability, and of greater responsibility in raising the level of social justice.<\/p>\n

“The name of the Alexandrion Group is linked to responsibility, future generations and appreciation of people. That is why the Alexandrion Foundation is organising this event for the second time in New York. [\u2026] Through the Constantin Br\u00e2ncoveanu International Awards, the Alexandrion Foundation wishes to bring global recognition to those who are the true game changers. Brilliant, innovative, compassionate \u2013 our laureates have shown throughout their work that social problems have solutions and that there is always a better way to campaign for a cause, even in the face of a global crisis. We appreciate those who consider shaping a more respectful future for both people and the planet we share.” <\/em>, said the President of the Alexandrion Foundation, Mr Nawaf Salameh.<\/p>\n

The awards were presented to internationally renowned personalities, remarkable for their achievements and for their humanitarian actions, and true sources of inspiration. The categories in which awards were presented this year were music, medicine, architecture, visual arts, science and politics.<\/p>\n

The laureate in the music category, Mariela Shaker, moved the audience not only through her art but also through her life story, with the Alexandrion Foundation jury remarking that “her story represents the triumph that rose above the atrocity of war.” Mariela Shaker is a violinist with a world-class career and a victim of the war in Syria. She currently teaches music and related subjects in the United States of America and is a motivational speaker.<\/p>\n

The architecture award went to Adriana C\u0103lin, who in New York and Los Angeles constantly finds solutions to architectural challenges, supports sustainable development and is a real game changer of the moment.<\/p>\n

The laureate in visual arts was none other than Alexandra Nechita, nicknamed “the little Picasso”, who regularly undertakes humanitarian work and who was featured in the CNN documentary series “Young People Who Rock”.<\/p>\n

Dr Baroukh El Kodsi was also honoured by the Alexandrion Foundation for his impressive medical career, through which he tries to make the world a better place every day. He is a member of several professional societies and carries out assiduous work in both research and clinical practice, which makes him one of the most valuable doctors of international standing.<\/p>\n

The Romanian Daniela Rus also makes her country of origin proud and shares her achievements with the whole world, as the first woman in the leadership of the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), with a strong impact on computer science and artificial intelligence. Thanks to her pioneering work in these technical fields, she is a model of women’s emancipation and supports gender equality in her field of activity. For her extraordinary achievements in electrical engineering, computer science and related fields, she was honoured by the Alexandrion Foundation on the evening of 3 December in New York.<\/p>\n

His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America was honoured with the Constantin Br\u00e2ncoveanu International Awards distinction for the unrivalled spirituality he shares throughout his career, as a reference personality in the contemporary landscape.<\/p>\n

Social justice, involvement in government and administrative stability were also recognised at the second edition of the Constantin Br\u00e2ncoveanu International Awards, through the distinction given in the Politics category. This year’s winner was Carolyn Maloney, who for 36 years has fought tirelessly to reduce social disparities.<\/p>\n

The Constantin Br\u00e2ncoveanu International Awards are the Alexandrion Foundation’s annual global initiative to offer contemporary society role models of value through achievement and high moral standing. Because the Alexandrion Foundation and Alexandrion Group are actively involved in the healthy and balanced formation of future generations, the inspirational models highlighted at the Constantin Br\u00e2ncoveanu International Awards Galas, the Constantin Br\u00e2ncoveanu Diaspora Awards Galas and the Constantin Br\u00e2ncoveanu Awards Galas held in Romania answer the need for guidance and support of young people around the world.<\/p>\n

In addition, through the Matei Br\u00e2ncoveanu Galas the potential of the younger generation is recognised; they reach their fifth edition in 2020. The Alexandrion Foundation also turns its attention to achievement in sport, with numerous support initiatives and, since 2016, the Alexandrion Trophies Galas, at which the most representative figures in the field are honoured by the Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
