The project will, inter alia, include the following main activities:

  • The development, implementation and coordination of an expert platform,
  • Methodological support and consultation in updating the Roma Integration Strategy
  • Research on existing practice of the collection of ethnically sensitive data
  • Quantitative survey focused on extent of support to collecting ethnically sensitive data among relevant agents,
  • Conducting two sample surveys and analysis and evaluation of the data gained
  • Analysis of foreign practice concerning the collection of analogous ethnically sensitive data,
  • Analysis of the legislative and institutional environment,
  • Creation of a method for describing the situation of the target group,
  • The development, management and coordination of a professional and expert platform for taking an opinion to the proposed method of the collection ethnically sensitive data.

Summary of project results

The project has improved the situation in the area of public information on human rights. An integrated portal on human rights in the Czech language has been created, which can be used free of charge by all persons dealing with human rights issues. The biggest challenge, but also a benefit of the project, is the linking of several databases of human rights institutions into one place, so that visitors to the web portal can search several different databases through one query.

The main activities of the project were:

1. creation of a web portal on human rights - the result is an information system with up-to-date and relevant information.

2. creation of an electronic compatibility manual - the result is a tool for assessing the compatibility of proposed legislation with the Human Rights Charter.

3. Human rights education - an activity provided by the PF UK partner, which resulted in the innovation of professional courses dealing with human rights, new study aids and trained persons.

4. Publicity - resulting in a final professional conference where networking and exchange of experiences took place as well as a series of podcasts on human rights.

The main outputs are:

- web portal with linked databases of human rights institutions (3)

- thematic handbooks (20)

- compatibility manual

- Innovated courses and study materials

- Seminars implemented

- International conference held

- podcast series.
