Introduction

The Council of Europe has progressed a concern to address the issue of systemic discrimination, including in particular through the work of the Steering Committee on Anti-discrimination, Diversity and Inclusion (CDADI) and the Intercultural Cities programme. Equality data have an important contribution to make in addressing and preventing systemic discrimination, in particular given that this is a phenomenon that is often invisible and without apparent intent. This pilot online training course has been developed with a view to informing and supporting this focus on the role of equality data in enabling effective action on systemic discrimination.
