Representatives from public institution, equality bodies, academia and civil society from EU acceding beneficiaries convened to finalise the online part of the training-for-trainer for the course “Combating Racism and Racial Discrimination”, based on the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) General Policy Recommendation No. 7.
Participants further developed their substantive knowledge of international and European anti-racism standards, as well as the pedagogical and technical competences required to roll out the course within national institutions such as ministries, equality bodies and public administration training academies. The session also explored opportunities and strategies to initiate national-level training, integrating the online module into domestic institutional training programmes.
By preparing a network of qualified trainers ready to cascade the GPR 7 course locally, this activity supports HF III’s regional objective of strengthening anti-discrimination and hate-crime prevention frameworks across beneficiary countries, providing knowledge to relevant key state institutions.
This event is organised within the action “Promoting equality and combating racism and intolerance in the Western Balkans” and the project “Promoting equality and non-discrimination: towards more resilient and inclusive societies”, which are respectively parts of the European Union/Council of Europe joint programmes “Horizontal Facility III for the Western Balkans and Türkiye” and “Partnership for Good Governance”.
