"Facing the Challenge - a Youth Strategy Against Racism & Related Forms of Discrimination in Europe"
UNITED Conference in Bucharest (RO)
organised by UNITED for Intercultural Action
Racism shows us new faces: the far right gains more and more power through elections, neo-nazis are not just unorganised groups of skinheads anymore, but "respectable" persons dressed in suits; racism is present in pop culture and in sports...
Are these things different in Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe? Which are the best ways to face these new challenges in combating racism and discrimination?
The UNITED conference in Romania will bring together young activists from all over Europe to share experience in these matters and to look for the best strategies to adopt.

KNOW THE PAST - MAKE YOUR FUTURE!
9 November 2002 - International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism

Joint campaign of anti-fascist, anti-racist, human rights, Roma and Jewish organisations both inside and outside the UNITED network. On 9 November 1938, the "Kristallnacht" pogrom took place. This partly state-organised pogrom against German Jews symbolises the beginning of the Holocaust. The commemoration has taken on a new meaning as we remember not only the victims from 1938, but also campaign against the rise of neo-nazism and racism in Europe today, and show support for the recent victims of racist and fascist attacks. Fascism killed millions of people: Jews, Roma and Sinti, gays, anti-fascists and people with disabilities. These groups are still being excluded from our societies. They are being discriminated every day. Everyone has a role to play and a contribution to make in the struggle against intolerance, according to their own skills and ambitions.

"21 March, International Day for the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination"
21 March was declared International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination by the General Assembly of the United Nations as a reaction to the murder of 70 peaceful demonstrators in Sharpeville, South Africa in 1960. This year once again hundreds of activities will take place all around Europe, organised by a wide variety of organisations. Activities range from demonstration and debates to film festivals and from special TV programs to cleaning the walls of racist slogans.
UNITED co-ordinates the activities, functions as an information point and distributes campaign material.

"UNITED Youth for Understanding - European Training Course on History as a Cause of Conflicts"
UNITED Summercamp in Krakow (Poland) in English language
History is an underlying cause for conflicts and intolerance. Most of Europe's current conflicts are deeply rooted in society and its history since centuries (for example in Cyprus, Northern Ireland, Basque Country). History interpretations are often used to "legitimate" opinions, prejudice and to justify discrimination.
During the training course methodological approaches to history as an issue of non-formal, anti-discrimination oriented, youth education projects will be deepened.
Multipliers will be challenged during interactive sessions, case studies and simulations and will get practical support in designing future youth projects...
