Specific Transnational projects

Call for Partners

CEIPES is looking for 6 partners (only EU member countries) interested to be part of a project in the framework of fight against racism towards immigrants and Roma people.

Project priority:

4.3 Combating racism, xenophobia and antisemitism (RXAS)

In order to implement the European Union policy against racism, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance such as antisemitism, Islamophobia and anti-Roma racism, the Commission seeks to fund actions which aim to foster mutual understanding, counter traditional and new stereotypes which are at the roots of intolerant attitudes and behaviour and prevent the divulgation of such stereotypes. Specifically, the support will be provided to activities which raise awareness on racism, xenophobia or related forms of intolerance, and establish preventive methods and practices. Moreover, the Commission seeks for the projects which aim to analyse the reasons and sources of racist or xenophobic hate speech and hate crime, including societal trends leading to such phenomena, to inform victims of racism or

xenophobia on redress mechanisms, or to assist law enforcement and judicial authorities to improve redress and reporting mechanisms, methods and practices. Among these projects the ones which aim to develop cross-community approaches would be favoured.

The project born from the awareness that racism and xenophobia are deeply rooted in society and they are evident in discriminatory behaviors and attitudes at a daily basis. We aim to work through a human rights education approach with civil society. The project foresees 3 main actions:

1)A film about Roma and immigrant people in the participating countries

2)Educational workshops oriented to values and beliefs change, by working on stereotypes and prejudices

3)Informative action about Roma and immigrants to make civil society know more about them and their lives and motivations to immigrate

This is only a draft of the project and partners who aim to work with us will be actively involved in the development of this project idea. We are also very open to change it according with partners experience and ideas.

For expression of interest please write to Ana Afonso: afonso@ceipes.org until the 31 January 2012

* Please send a BRIEF description about your organization aims and activities.
