Description
Within the project, we want to provide multifaceted, comprehensive support for people who are dealing with anti-discrimination education or would like to start conducting it. Research carried out by non-governmental organisations and university centres shows that prejudices are becoming more visible in Polish society and hate speech is becoming more and more common. In the public debate, dehumanising statements about refugees, women, LGBT+ people or people belonging to religious, national or ethnic minorities appear regularly. Many local governments have adopted ‘anti-LGBT’ resolutions and discriminatory Municipal Family Rights Charters. We observe increased political activity of fundamentalist organisations, which want to influence the formal education system in Poland and threaten̨ social organisations. In response to these phenomena it is necessary to intensify anti-discrimination activities. As part of the project, we will publish (in partnership with the Villa Decius Association) the second edition of a manual for trainers of anti-discrimination education. We will develop a training methodology, scenarios and other methodological resources for conducting anti-discrimination education online. We will make available a library of podcasts and video materials. We will provide substantive support and supervision for trainers. We will conduct communication and promotional activities. The project is addressed to teachers, educators, activists from NGOs and informal groups and other people working with groups that are particularly vulnerable to inequality and human rights violations. The project is also aimed at youth workers such as pedagogues and psychologists.
