International UNITED Conference: Overcome all borders: UNITED against Intoleranc
UNITED invites YOUR organisation to nominate for the UNITED Conference near Malaga “Overcome all borders; UNITED against Intolerance”. This conference will focus on the intolerance migrants face in Europe with an emphasis on the scapegoating reaction to migration at Southern European borders. The aim of this conference is to create ideas, vision, and strategies to counter this intolerance and the lack of a strong and humane political vision.
The conference is planned for 75 participants (living in the countries of the Council of Europe) who represent (inter)national antiracist, antifascist, refugee, and minority rights organisations. Active grass-roots groups from all over Europe are also invited. Especially organisations working on migration, antidiscrimination, hate speech, and hate crime are invited to nominate.
Priority will be given to nominations from young delegates (upto 30 years old) with a minority background. Preference is given to those organisations that actively take part in UNITED campaigns. Participants should act as multipliers, spreading the information to as many people as possible. Since there are limited sponsored places, organisations that can cover (part of) their delegates’ travel costs have a higher chance to be selected. The organisers will try to reach an equal balance of female/male participants and a good geographical distribution.
Each organisation can nominate only ONE delegate.
