Over the past months ifak has collected data through a survey and through conducted interviews as part of the Erasmus+ project "Participa City" together with the German partner blinc. The aim of our non-representative data collection was to assess where and how racism and discrimination at the national level occur and which obstacles still need to be overcome to foster the participation of ethnic and cultural minorities.
Through the analysis of the collected data, ifak identified the main groups affected by discrimination and racism and gained valuable insights into the sectors, stakeholders, and structural mechanisms that either enable or hinder their participation. Our findings have also revealed in which fields of life racism prevention activities are needed and which key competences are relevant to effectively address and prevent discriminatory behaviour. In addition, through our survey and the interviews critical incidents have been collected which will serve as the basis for the development of additional scenarios for the Participa City game and of acting recommendations.
