European Coalition of Cities against Racism: Launch of the ECCAR Guidebook on Local Actions against Anti-Muslim Racism. Policy Recommendations for City Administrations and Their Partners, Heidelberg, Germany, but online, 14 September 2023 from 14:00-17:00 CEST. Deadline to participate: 13 September 2023.
CID has been asked to share the following announcement:
In 2020, ECCAR established a Working Group on Anti-Muslim Racism. For the past two and a half years, the working group has focused on producing a comprehensive Guidebook for local authorities working closely with several contributors, including ECCAR member cities, researchers, activists, and NGO representatives. The result is a high-quality policy text that local decision-makers, journalists, researchers and activists can benefit from. With its diverse range of good practice examples produced by 17 European ECCAR member cities from nine countries, policy recommendations, and “lessons learnt,” the Guidebook is a significant and first-of-its-kind publication for local European policies against anti-Muslim racism. We are particularly pleased to announce that the Guidebook has been translated into French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish. All PDF versions of the Guidebook will be released on the day of the launch.
You can download the preliminary programme of the high-level launch event that will be opened by Gabriela Ramos, Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences of UNESCO, followed by thematic panels with researchers, representatives from ECCAR cities and activists.
Registrations are open until 13 September. To ensure a smooth registration process, please pre-register for the event. The event will be held in English spoken language. If you need interpretation services in German, French or Spanish, please register in advance.
You are welcome to share the registration link with your colleagues, partners, and people who would benefit from this programme.
