Media & Diversity – Particular Stories…
Each European country has its proper history of media as well as of the inclusion of the various groups of its own population. The recent or distant history of immigration in certain European countries and/or emigration in others, and their inclusion in the social, economic and cultural dynamics, built clear specificities to each country. In the same way, the development of the media, the type of training, the access to media productions and professions, or even the regulatory system of the media or of sport, bear important differences from a country to another. These specificities explain why the MARS programme  chooses to organise a first level of encounters - the national ones. It gives the opportunity to colleagues of a same country to exchange and enrich their proper experiences linked to a similar context in the fields of media, diversity, racism & sport
