Silver Award Winner of the Brilliance in Diversity and Inclusion, 2025: 1+1 Media – Life After Scars
Winning the Brilliance Award for Life After Scars profoundly acknowledges the importance of telling the stories of Ukraine’s veterans. This award is an opportunity to remind people yet again of the full-scale war in Ukraine and the horror that thousands of our fellow citizens are facing. It is our gratitude to veterans and support on their journey back to civilian life. Our duty as an employer is to create comfortable working and living conditions for them. We must build a tolerant and barrier-free society. We are facing severe challenges, but we will cope – together, side by side, in a democratic and free world.
The International Brilliance Awards play a crucial role in recognizing impactful storytelling worldwide. It is inspiring to see projects that highlight social change and human resilience acknowledged on such a prestigious platform.
This award reinforces our commitment to creating meaningful content. It elevates the visibility of Life After Scars and strengthens our mission to bring important narratives to the forefront. We hope this recognition will help drive further conversations and support for veterans as they rebuild their lives.
We are honored by this recognition and grateful that these powerful stories are being seen and heard globally.
