Silver Rose Awards 2025

Every year, the Silver Rose Awards ceremony brings together a wide audience of like-minded individuals with backgrounds in civil society, the trade union movement, youth, and politics.

The Silver Rose Awards is a crucial opportunity to recognise and celebrate an organisation and individual who have made outstanding contribution to the progressive movement and to advancing a social, just and green transition.

In the face of a challenging political context with shifting priorities, it is more important than ever to highlight people within our movement working tirelessly to ensure a just transition and social justice stay on the agenda.

Congratulations to the 2025 Silver Rose Award winners: La Via Campesina will be presented with the Just Transition Award, and Agnes Jongerius the Lifetime Achievement Award.

As we celebrated 25 years of Silver Rose, we looked forward to reflecting on the achievements of our movement and discussing what more needs to be done to ensure a just transition for all.

Since 2000, SOLIDAR has organised the Silver Rose Awards, an award for progressive civil society, in collaboration with FEPS, the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament (S&D), and the Party of European Socialists (PES). The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), PES Women, and the Young European Socialists (YES) have also partnered for this flagship event.
