“UNITED We Can Do It!
Civil Society Against Right-Wing Extremism”
UNITED Conference in Sheffield (GB) in English language
organised by UNITED for Intercultural Action
The challenge for a multicultural Europe, in holding back right-wing extremism and at the same time building the capacity of minority communities in Europe through its civil society, will be at the heart of this forthcoming conference. In order to create solutions to these challenges, European civil society needs to analyse these issues together and more importantly, develop, share and disseminate good practice.
The conference will bring together young activists from all over Europe to look at the point of intersection between minority rights and the far right. Aim of the conference is to strengthen the capacity of grass-root organisations to spot, counteract and prevent manifestations of right-wing extremism, racism, intolerance and discrimination as well as to promote equal rights for migrants and refugees...

20 June
INTERNATIONAL REFUGEE DAY   
www.unhcr.ch, www.unitedagainstracism.org/pages/camprfc.htm

20.06.2009
"International Refugee Day 2009"
On 4th of December 2001 the UN General Assembly Resolution proclaimed 20th of June as the World Refugee Day. In occasion of this date various activities (demonstrations, conferences, festivals and exhibitions) in support of refugees will take place all over Europe.

Since several years UNITED has co-ordinated an international refugee campaign where the main issues empahasized are:

* Denouncing the European policies in matter of asylum and immigration that are more and more restrictive, as a result of which UNITED documented 11.105 death cases of refugees and asylum seekers who had died at Europe's border, inside detention and deportation camps all over Europe,
* Promoting a society where migrants and asylum seekers have not to face racism and discrimination,
* Showing Refugees not as victims of circumstances but as talented individuals who are contributing to the cultural enrichment and the diversity of society.
UNITED calls upon organisations to contribute to this awareness raising campaign. Keep the secretariat informed about your activities. For further information visit the Refugee Campaign Site www.unitedagainstracism.org/pages/camprfc.htm

09 November
INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST FASCISM AND ANTISEMITISM
www.unitedagainstracism.org

 

09.11.2009            “International Day Against Fascism And Antisemitism”
The focus of the campaign around the 9 November is to join forces and build a strong movement capable of fighting fascism in all its forms. Anti-fascist, anti-racist, Jewish and Roma organisations both inside and outside the UNITED network commemorate the "Kristallnacht", which took place on 9 November 1938. This partly state-organised pogrom against German Jews symbolises the beginning of the Holocaust. The commemoration has taken a new meaning as we remember not only the victims from 1938, but also campaign against rise of neo-Nazism and racism in Europe today, and show support for the recent victims of racist and fascist attacks. If you decide to organise an event, please inform UNITED. We will publish a List of Activities on Internet and we can provide you with free material, like posters and postcards.
