The 2018 Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity ceremony, Aurora Dialogues and other inspirational events took place on June 8-10, 2018 in Armenia.

Pre-eminent humanitarians, academics, philanthropists, human rights defenders, government officials, journalists and business leaders from around the world have gathered for the purpose of galvanizing action to address today’s most pressing humanitarian challenges and to celebrate the best of humanity.

Samantha Power, Aurora Prize Selection Committee Member: "We need more up-standers than bystanders, and if Aurora tells the story of up-standers, it can inspire people, you don’t even know who you’re reaching."
