MARS - Media Against Racism in Sport

Encounters
MARS offered to cross media professional practices in the fields of training, ethics and production through the MARS Media Encounters. In their approach, these encounters were not just looking to bring together participants but to give them the opportunity to embark on a real exchange. For MARS, participants were the real experts in their own fields, and they were the sole stimulators for media creativity and innovation in relation to diversity and non discrimination. MARS wanted to bring about real encounters between participants whereby they brought in their own experiences, competencies and areas of expertise in order to strengthen their own professional practices.

Media Work Exchanges
The MARS Media Work Exchanges were a unique opportunity for media professionals, and future ones, to widen the scope of their media practices and contact pools. Media professionals had the opportunity to host a media colleague/counterpart and be hosted themselves by a media related organisation in return (training organisations, media, self-regulatory and regulatory bodies, professional unions� ) to exchange professional experience and to produce together with the participating colleague, a common output (training exercises, media reports, case studies, etc.). To help with the process, the Council of Europe provided participants the financial and logistics support to travel and work with European Union colleagues in 10-day work exchanges (5 days as guest / 5 days as host).
