Nov. 4-9, 2008: UNITED Conference, Belgrade

UNITED is the largest pan-European anti-racist network of more than 560 organisations. The next UNITED Conference, entitled "Europe under Construction: Imagine our Future without Hate!" will take place on November 4-9, 2008, near Belgrade. The deadline for nominations is 5 September 2008.

There are great challenges in front of all of us. Europe is an old continent with a past full of conflict, still in the process to define its identity and shape its future. The aim of the conference is to strengthen the anti-racist movement in Europe, particularly in the Balkans, and to promote solidarity among civil society organisations. The conference will bring together around 70 NGO participants from different social, national, religious or other minority background, and offers the possibility to share visions of European past, present and future in working groups, strategy building workshops, presentations, political cafes, panel discussions, intercultural activities and many other occassions.

All information on the main themes of the conference and the e-nomination form can be found on the website http://www.unitedagainstracism.org/

The conference is prepared by: Afro-Asian Community of Moldova (MD), Association of Recognized Refugees in Cyprus (CY), Civic Assistance Committee Refugees & Forced Migrants (RUS), Ethnicity Research Center (RS), MTP Oradea (RO), QUEERIA Center (RS), Master on Immigration Programme University of Venice (I) and UNITED for Intercultural Action; with the support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe.
