Date: 28-29 September 2020
Organised by: the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) of the Council of Europe, through videoconferencing.
This seminar will explore the ways everyone involved in the fight against racism and intolerance can communicate more effectively and how ECRI, equality bodies and other stakeholders can join forces to increase the impact of our communication on promoting equality and fighting racism and intolerance.
Communicating the message of equality and diversity widely and well is essential if we are to successfully grow support for the human right to equality and non-discrimination, influence change leaders and raise awareness.
