| Honorary Board / Atom Egoyan, Canada |
Civilitas Foundation honorary board member and Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan is among the jurors for the ninth annual Glenn Gould Prize – an international award bestowed by the Glenn Gould Foundation in memory of noted Canadian pianist Glenn Gould. It is awarded every third year to a living individual in recognition of his/her contributions to music and communication.
The jury for the so-called “Nobel Prize of the arts” also includes British actor, writer and director Stephen Fry, Chinese singer/songwriter Dadawa, pianist Gary Graffman and two Canadians, singer and vocal producer Elaine Overholt and film producer Phoebe Greenberg.
The prize laureate will be announced April 1. The winner receives $50,000 and chooses a young artist to receive The City of Toronto Glenn Gould Protégé Prize of $15,000.
The Academy Award-nominated filmmaker will also direct his first major play in Canada for Canadian Stage's 2011-2012 theatre season. In addition, Egoyan plans to direct his wife, Arsinee Khanjian, in British playwright Martin Crimp's Cruel and Tender next year.

With the support of Norwegian and German governments, a few months ago the Civilitas Foundation began to conduct polls throughout Armenia. The results of the polls will be made available to the media and will serve as the topic of public discussions.

LIBRARIES AS CENTERS OF CIVIL SOCIETY
The main objective of the project is to support and strengthen the public libraries in a number of rural and urban communities in Armenia, away from the capital, in order to transform them into true centers of community life providing a number of services to the population.
