Every day, people around the world perform quiet acts of courage, resilience and solidarity. These small actions often go unnoticed. This medal is a tool to change that. When you see someone who embodies one of these concepts, recognise them. Give them the medal. Make it official.
When a culture names a set of human attributes, it leaves evidence that those attributes are worth recognising. Some of these words have faded into silence, others simply have no translation. Everyday-Medal rescues them and turns them into objects. Because what you name exists, and what you say has an impact on the lives of others.

You are the documentarian. What you write here becomes a permanent entry in the Register: why this person, why this word, why now. The medal is already in their hands. This is what makes it real.
Each medal is a unique piece: a found object with a previous life, transformed and assembled by hand. It is not a gift. It is a recognition tool.
To acquire a medal, ask about the project or simply say hello.
