In preparation for the European Conference Against Racism I CARE runs a discussion list. The purpose of the discussions are to exchange ideas, voice concerns and formulate recommendations of NGOs around Europe. The outcome of the discussions will result in a report with concerns and recommendations which will be sent in September to all participants of both the Intergovernmental conference and NGO forum preceding the conference. Also this report will be made available to the media covering the events.

UN-discussion This list covers all subjects you want brought into the Strasbourg Conference that are not addressed now. Also it gives regular updates about what is happening in the other discussions.

We ran seperate lists of all official topics at the conference for a while. Those have been merged into the un-discussion list. The official topics are:

Legal Legal protection against racism and related discrimination at sub-national, national, regional and international levels.

Local Policies and practices to combat racism and related discrimination at national level.

Education Education and raising awareness to combat racism, related discrimination and extremism at local, national and international levels.

Media Information, communication and the media.

All discussions are in English. Correct use of grammar and/or spelling is not an issue, getting your message across is. If you want to participate you can subscribe by sending mail to: info@icare.to in the subject line write: SUBSCRIBE UN-DISCUSSION.
