Bent Melchior Prize 2024
Vulnerable people on the margins of society are rarely portrayed in a positive light. We at Brobyggerne want to change that with this year's presentation of the Bent Melchior Award and a gala evening entitled "Vulnerable and Valued." Here, we put people on the margins at the center and honor a special passionate soul who has made a difference with their efforts on behalf of vulnerable citizens.
The gala evening will take place at the magnificent Moltkes Palæ in Copenhagen, which has generously donated the venue and catering for this special event. Participants on stage and in the audience will include ministers, cultural figures, business leaders, opinion makers, and, not least, vulnerable citizens and their representatives, who are the ones this event is all about.
The evening's program will evoke both smiles and seriousness as well-known artists, trailblazers, and personalities entertain and discuss life as and for vulnerable people. It will be an evening you won't want to miss!

November 12, 2024
, 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Moltkes Palæ
