Description: The project underlines how racist symbols and images negatively affect social actors throughout the European community; it aims at developing a common culture of stigmatisation of racism and promoting a proactive role in combating racism, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance. To increase the impact of activities, the project focuses on key players such as police, judiciary and civil society organisations.
The joint approach pursued by the partnership is based on a scientific analysis of local occurrences, hidden symbols of racism and their social perception, providing key role-makers with tools to improve their ability to recognise the negative values of a discriminatory social behaviour and to fight it properly. Consultation with experts in the field evaluates the replicability of tools and products and verifies that project activities effectively respond to discrimination situations.
As part of the overall project, ISIG carries out quantitative research on the symbols and languages of racism in the partner countries and elaborates the final research report both for the qualitative (case studies) and quantitative aspects.
