" Five years into the Decade for Roma Inclusion, what do Europeans know about their Roma minorities? " Grundtvig Workshop Organized by HIA France From February 27th to March 6th Lyon, France This workshop will host 17 participants from all across Europe. It is designed to help evaluate the general knowledge about Roma populations in Europe today; provide participants with knowledge on the history and cultures of Roma populations across Europe; address the diversity of contemporary issues faced by Roma populations across Europe, as well as the divide between the cultural approaches and the social and humanitarian approaches developed to respond to these issues. The participants will reflect on their knowledge before and after the workshop, and develop an educational tool designed to help European Civil Society gain knowledge on Roma populations, and fight prejudices leading to discrimination and exclusion all over the European Union, beyond the countries included in the Decade for Roma Inclusion. Contacts: Director, Humanity In Action France: Tara Dickman – [email protected] / 06.98.97.28.54 Project coordinator, Humanity In Action France: Laurène Bounaud – [email protected] / 06.67.68.86.79 Introduction The workshop “Five years into the Decade for Roma Inclusion, what do Europeans know about their Roma minori- ties?” will help evaluate the general knowledge about Roma populations in Europe today; provide participants with knowledge on the history and cultures of Roma populations across Europe; address the diversity of contemporary issues faced by Roma populations across Europe, as well as the divide between the cultural approaches and the social and humanitarian approaches developed to respond to these issues. Finally, the participants will look back on their knowledge before and after the workshop, and develop an educational tool designed to help European Civil Society gain knowledge on Roma populations, and fight prejudices leading to discrimination and exclusion all over the European Union, beyond the countries included in the Decade for Roma Inclusion. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to tackle prejudices and preconceived ideas about Roma populations by dis- seminating knowledge about the history of the minority, its internal diversity, and the different issues it faces across Europe. The knowledge gained during the workshop is meant to be disseminated in an accessible way across the European Union.. Sessions will be both theoretical and practical: Interactive role-play games will help participants identify their own prejudices towards before providing them with tools to address social exclusion based on preconceived ideas; Participants will discuss how Roma populations are portrayed in the media or in school, as well as their own experience with Roma populations; Roma academics and specialists will provide participants with background on Roma history and cultures, and address the divide between the social and cultural approaches to issues faced by Roma populations across Europe; they will also address evolutions in European law to fight the social exclusion of Roma populations across Europe, and how these evolutions show in facts. Participants will reflect on their knowledge prior to the program and after the program to ela- borate a tool they believe will make knowledge about the Roma minorities in Europe more accessible to European Civil Society at large. The workshop will be an opportunity for adult learners to improve their knowledge about the largest minority in Europe, and become mentors themselves in disseminating that knowledge. It will also be an opportunity for them to understand the concrete role of European Union laws in fighting discrimination and promoting the rights of mi- norities.

The IHRA (formerly the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research, or ITF) was initiated in 1998 by former Swedish Prime Minister Göran Persson. Persson decided to establish an international organisation that would expand Holocaust education worldwide, and asked former president Bill Clinton and former British prime minister Tony Blair to join him in this effort. Persson also developed the idea of an international forum of governments interested in discussing Holocaust education, which took place in Stockholm between 27–29 January 2000. The Forum was attended by the representatives of 46 governments including; 23 Heads of State or Prime Ministers and 14 Deputy Prime Ministers or Ministers. The Declaration of the Stockholm International Forum on the Holocaust was the outcome of the Forum’s deliberations and is the foundation of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. The IHRA currently has 31 Member Countries, 10 Observer Countries and seven Permanent International Partners.

Il faut rappeler, d'abord et avant tout, que tous les politiques, quelque soit leur parti, ont pour ambition de rendre les gens heureux. Les programmes prétendent tous améliorer la vie des gens. Il n'y a pas la méchante droite d'un côté, et la gentille gauche de l'autre, ou inversement. Les extrêmes n'y échappent pas, qui proposent toutefois des méthodes un peu plus radicales pour y parvenir. « Reste, qu’on soit de droite ou de gauche, à l’être intelligemment. C’est le plus difficile. C’est le plus important. L’intelligence n’est d’aucun camp. C’est pourquoi nous avons besoin des deux, et de l’alternance entre les deux ». André Comte Sponville, philosophe. Naissance de la droite et de la gauche sous la Révolution française La division droite et gauche est née pendant la Révolution française. Quand les tout nouveaux députés de l'Assemblée de 1791 ont dû se décider sur le rôle du roi, ils n'étaient pas d'accord.

The experiment was both carried out in situ in polling stations during the first round of the presidential election (using paper ballots), and online during the month preceding the first round, and until the second round of the election (using a web application). A total of 6358 participants took part to the in situ experiment and 37739 participants took part to the online experiment. This paper provides an extensive description of the online experiment. The aim is not to provide any result about this experiment, but to describe the protocol and the format of the dataset resulting from this experiment.

  • Short Projects and Grassroots Initiatives to Address Anti-Semitism Activities Supported by the “Words Into Action to Address Anti- Semitism” Project
    OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) Short projects and grassroots initiatives to address anti-Semitism activities supported by the “Words into Action to Address Anti- Semitism” project Warsaw May 2019 - 2 - Introduction The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s (OSCE) participating States have made numerous commitments to preventing and responding to manifestations of anti- Semitism and other acts of intolerance, or discrimination against Christians, Muslims and members of other religions. The OSCE’s 2014 Basel Ministerial Council Declaration No. 8 on Enhancing Efforts to Combat Anti-Semitism specifically tasked the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) to: offer to participating States best practices on efforts to counter anti-Semitism, including by consulting civil society, to effectively identify and address contemporary manifestations of anti-Semitism; facilitate the exchange of best practices among participating States on educational initiatives and other measures to raise awareness of anti-Semitism and overcome challenges to Holocaust education; and promote dialogue and strengthen the capacity of civil society to foster mutual respect and understanding in order to advance the cause of co-operation between different communities. In 2016, the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) launched a multi-year project on “Turning Words into Action to Address Anti-Semitism” to help OSCE participating States follow through on their commitment to prevent and address anti- Semitism. To this end, ODIHR has developed transferable tools and disseminated good practices in three key fields: security, education and coalition building. In June 2016, ODIHR issued a call for proposals to identify short projects developed by civil society organizations that aimed to address anti-Semitism through education or coalition building.

This project was launched in 2015 by the Anne Frank House, in cooperation with local partner organizations from Croatia (Croatian Education and Development Network for the Evolution of Communication - HERMES), Bosnia-Herzegovina (Youth Initiative for Human Rights-YIHR and Humanity in Action- HIA), Serbia (Open Communication - OK) and Macedonia (Youth Educational Forum - MOF). We had big goals - to raise awareness and encourage discussion about the recent history of nationalism, exclusion, prejudice, discrimination in the region and promote debate and dialogue on our common past. We also wanted to promote critical thinking about historical events and their relevance for contemporary challenges, as well as to inspire an interdisciplinary, civic-education oriented history education. This project builds upon the mission of the Anne Frank House, an independent organization that is entrusted with the care of the place where Anne Frank went into hiding during World War II and where she wrote her diary.
