** 21 MARCH **
21 March was declared
International Day for the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination by
the General Assembly of the United Nations as a reaction to the murder of 70
anti-apartheid demonstrators in Sharpeville, South Africa, in 1960. During the
annual European-wide Action Week, which centres around 21 March, thousands of
people actively engage themselves for tolerance, 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, cleaning off the walls racist slogans, to
multicultural football matches.
** ACT **
Thousand activists will act
together to highlight one common problem: racism. Discrimination on all grounds
is still affecting many aspects of everyday life. Raising awareness in all
fields of life - that's the key to defeat racism!
We have to stand together, be
UNITED to support the antiracist and anti discrimination youth vision and to
SPEAK OUT together against racism and the negative political tendencies in
Europe! With an authentic and living movement we can put antiracism into the
mainstream of contemporary culture. Young people can and should be a part of
the solution to the problem of racism.
** LET US CAMPAIGN TOGETHER **
UNITED links various
activities and highlights the issues of racism on a European level. It
publicises and supports initiatives of local groups.
UNITED for Intercultural
Action is the European network against nationalism, racism, fascism and in
support of migrants and refugees. Linked through UNITED, more than 550
organisations and youth organisations work together on a voluntary basis.
