5 years of raising awareness in the European Union The “For Diversity. Against Discrimination.” information campaign

An initiative of the European Union

Foreword by European Commissioner Vladimír Špidla

Over the last five years, the 500 organisations involved in the EU’s “For Diversity.

Against Discrimination.” information campaign have worked together to raise awareness on the subjects of discrimination, diversity and equality.

Award schemes for journalists, poster and photo competitions, sports events, training seminars and conferences, cooperation with the music channel MTV, these are just some of the many hundreds of innovative activities that have tak- en place as part of the campaign. Since its launch, the aim of the campaign has been to raise awareness and understanding that discrimination in the EU is ille- gal and also to create a debate and discussion on the themes of diversity and dis- crimination, and particularly how Europe stands to gain from greater equality. >> The European Year of Equal Opportunities for All in 2007 was a huge boost to this work with many 100s of information activities taking place across the EU, from competitions to interactive games to TV adverts. The European Year also gave us an excellent reason to do an extended information Truck Tour covering

19 EU countries and making 32 stops. A big thanks to the truck drivers and the technicians for all their hard work!

1 For the European Commission and for everyone involved, the “For Diversity.

Against Discrimination.” campaign has been a new experience and we have

learnt many lessons along the way. Five years since its launch, we can look back

on what we have done well and where we still need to focus our efforts. As

always, we are keen to hear your voice too. We have carried out a survey of all

organisations involved in the campaign and we are also happy to get feedback

on the www.stop-discrimination.info site.

The “For Diversity. Against Discrimination.” campaign will continue over the

coming years and we hope to build on some of the many innovative ideas

which have come out of the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All. The

campaign will continue to link up the many 100s of organisations across Europe

working on equality issues.

These national partners, NGOs, ministries, equality bodies, trade unions and

employer associations help us to ensure that our awareness raising activities

reach the right audience using the right communication means. It is also an

excellent chance to gather together organisations working on many subjects

– Anti-racism, youth groups, disability, gay and lesbian rights for example. This

partnership was further strengthened in the work to prepare and carry out

activities under the 2007 European Year. We are now looking at ways to build

2 on this cooperation in the future. By working together we can share ideas and get the message out that a life free from discrimination is a fundamental right in the European Union.

2.2 Logos, slogans and key messages

The campaign design consisted of a slogan and logo, which could be adapted to all EU languages in all Member States. The slogan pinpointed not only the harm caused by dis- crimination (“Against Discrimination”) but also highlighted the benefits of a diverse society (“For Diversity”). This “branding” was devel- oped in close cooperation with partners on a national and European level and focused on combating discrimination in employment. A shortlist of different designs and slogans were tested on a number of groups before choosing the final one. It proved to be quite a challenge to translate the slogan! The national groups from each Member State had to agree on one phrase which summed up the main objectives of the campaign while respecting the cultural and linguistic context of each country. 10 >> >> Voor Verscheidenheid

Over the last five years, 100s of events and activities have been organised on both

the natio­nal and pan-European level. These were organised to inform people about

rights and obligations under EU law and creating debate and discussion around

discrimination issues.

21 >> 4 Putting Diversity in the Picture: Creative Competitions

A number of competitions were launched to hear what young people had to say about the campaigns’ messages and to raise their awareness of the benefits of diver- sity in all areas of society. What better way to appeal to young people than by using their creative talent and inspiration to create designs promoting diversity!

So between February Aleksandra Woldańska. >> and July 2006, art and design students were in- vited from across Europe to submit a poster in- spired by the concept “Breaking Stereotypes”.

Over 750 students representing all 25 Member States submitted entries to the competition to express what diversity and discrimination meant to them. An international jury of art, design, and communication experts from many backgrounds and cultures judged the entries based on creativity, originality of expression, clarity of presentation, universal appeal, and ability to catch the viewer’s interest.

4.3 Reaching out to young people: Creative contests with MTV

Since 2005 the “For Diversity. Against Discrimi­ na­tion.” campaign has teamed up with the mu- sic channel MTV. Three advertisements have been broadcast across the EU which aimed at encouraging young people to speak up for equality and diversity. These adverts called on young people to express, in a creative way, what diversity and equality means to them. All 3 advertisements can be seen on www.stop- discrimination.info

In 2007, the EU teamed up once again with MTV for a creative competition, which invited young people to enter a “best visual creations” contest. This encompassed anything from pho- tographs and videos to collages and art, all with a central theme – diversity enriches our societies.

The competition was officially launched in October 2007 with an ad on MTV. Audiences could follow the link to the “DiverseCity” web- site (www.eudiversity.com) where participants could upload their profiles and see those of their peers. The website provided an ideal fo- rum for young people to share opinions and express themselves during the 2007 European Year of Equal Opportunities for All. 5 Targeting the press as multipliers and opinion makers

Working with the media is a perfect way to spread the campaign’s messages of

diversity to the public. In reporting about discrimination issues, the press are able to

directly access a huge audience, spreading the message far and wide.

In Italy, several of the most popular football players lent their names and faces to the EU’s anti-discrimination campaign thanks to the combined efforts of the UNAR, the Italian National Office Against Racial Discrimination, and the Ministry of Equal Opportunities. A series of postcards were produced with the football stars, including Fabio Cannavaro, Lilian Thuram, Xavier Zanetti and Gennaro Gattuso and were distributed with information about the fight against discrimination. The postcards were extremely popular and were snapped up in no time!
