European Assembly Against Racism

During this event, we showcase and reflect on initiatives against racism and discrimination from different European countries. What can we learn from each other? And what influence do local initiatives have to make an impact?

In European countries, we observe that social and economic changes are felt differently by various groups. This can be seen for example when it comes to policies toward refugees and (undocumented) migrants. More and more progressive initiatives are therefore choosing to make their own choices with what is within their power.

During this evening we will have both plenary and theme-specific breakout sessions. At these sessions, we will look at different initiatives from various places within Europe that are working towards more humane policies and radical and inclusive democracy on the local level. What can we do to foster knowledge exchange between these local examples and how can we work together? Finally, how can local initiatives grow to national and European-wide initiatives?

This event can only be attended physically at our studio. The recordings will be made available later on and can be viewed via dezwijger.nl/terugkijken or via our YouTube channel.
