The annual FARE Action Week against Racism and Discrimination has grown over the last years into Europe’s biggest anti-racism campaign in football. Last year more than 35 countries got involved in a united effort to rid the game of racism and discrimination.
This October, the 8th FARE Action Week (17-30 October 2007) will once again feature activities by fans, players, clubs, associations, minority organisations, anti-discrimination groups, youth centres, schools and the sports media. A highlight of the week of action will be the anti-racism activities at all the UEFA Champions League matches during this period.
The FARE network, in partnership with UEFA, calls upon the entire European football family to get involved in the forthcoming FARE Action Week.
The emphasis of the FARE Action Week this season is a call for:
* greater participation of ethnic minorities and migrants;
* inclusion of women and girls;
* action against homophobia in the game.
The FARE network also aims to encourage more groups in southern Europe to participate in the FARE Action Week.
To find out how you can join the Action Week, please see the Guidelines and Application Form on www.FAREnet.org. French, Italian and German language versions will soon be made also available.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the FARE network (contact details on the Application Form).
