20 young people from Italy, Greece, Hungary, Austria and Denmark will participate in the Mondiali Antirazzisti, where they will take part in a theoretical learning session concerning the organization of such an event, with a specific focus on the methodology used. The success of the Mondiali Antirazzisti is mainly due to the ability to build, over the years, a profitable and fertile international network active in the fight against racism and any kind of discrimination.
