European-wide Action Week against Racism in March

During the annual European-wide Action Week, which centres around 21 March, thousands of people actively engage themselves for respect and equal rights and celebrate the diversity of Europe. This year once again hundreds of activities will take place all around Europe, organised by a wide variety of organisations. Activities range from intercultural youth festivals to cleaning the walls of racist slogans, or multicultural football matches.
All organisations, large and small, can contribute in their own way to the Action Week. It is not important for an effective action to have lots of financial resources since it is more the creativity and originality of the ideas that count. The European campaign aims to raise awareness in all relevant sectors of society. Its three main targets are the media, youth and the general public. The week aims to initiate national and international projects and campaigns while highlighting the issues of racism from a non-governmental perspective on all levels. The European-wide action week and its campaigns are organised by UNITED for Intercultural Action, the European network against nationalism, racism, fascism and in support of migrants and refugees.
