International Day/European Week Against Racism 13-21 March 2010

Are you organising an activity to mark International Day Against Racism?  Would you like to show your solidarity, learn and just have fun by coming to events that are organised during European Week Against Racism? 

ENAR Ireland is supporting the co-ordination of activities linked to European Week Against Racism/International Day Against Racism in Ireland. International Day Against Racism is the 21 March.  This year, European Week Against Racism takes place between 13-21 March. 
If you are holding an activity around this time to mark the occasion, let us know. 
Contact Catherine at EnarIreland@gmail.com by 19th February. 
ENAR Ireland will produce a calendar of activities running from between 7-28 March. 
During the European Week Against Racism, thousands of people actively engage in activities to promote and celebrate equal rights and the diversity of Europe.  The Week centres around 21 March which was declared International Day for the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination by the United Nations as a response to the murder of 69 anti-apartheid demonstrators in Sharpeville, South Africa in 1960. 
In previous years and across Europe, a wide and exciting range of activities have been organized.l  Activities for example, have included music, film, dance, seminars, campaigns, social evenings, launches of publications, training, or simply coming together in work or as friends to say “we are part of the struggle against racism”, we enjoy diversity. 
If you would like to know what is going on, our calendar of activities will let you know.  The calendar will be ready for you to see by the end of the month.  Watch this space or visit us online.
