Marketplace of connections
On the afternoon of 10 December, participants will be invited to join a Marketplace of connections, where beneficiaries from the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme present best practices from their projects.
Capacity-building and awareness-raising on the Charter
The project emphasised the role of the Charter in fundamental rights litigation. It created training to civil society and attorneys on strategic litigation on the Charter, a dedicated curriculum for universities, and an awareness campaign highlighting Charter-related cases.
Empowering the civic space
The European Civic Forum came together with partners from across the EU to develop a common methodology for monitoring the civic space. The project developed an early warning system to alert on threats to civic space, and recommended action to be taken to better protect civil society actors.
Strategic litigation
The project promoted the enforcement of the Charter through strategic litigation, specifically regarding the fundamental rights of persons with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities. It worked to strengthen the mainstreaming of their rights at the EU level and in the Member States.
Combating hate speech and hate crime
The project focuses on monitoring hate speech in all EU languages. It responded to the need to improve cooperation between law enforcement agencies and civil society organisations to combat illegal hate speech online. Its primary focus was on facilitating third-party reporting of hate incidents via an AI-driven digital platform.
Whistleblower protection
This project supports the establishment of an enabling environment for the protection of whistleblowers by raising awareness and improving the implementation of whistleblowing laws at work. It also develops guidelines, self-assessment questionnaires and e-learning tools and training on whistle-blowing.
Promoting and protecting children’s rights
The project built the capacity of social services to prevent and respond to violence against children. It shared best practices from the Member States on fighting violence against children, assessed child protection professionals’ knowledge gaps and training needs, and produced a compendium of good practice.
Violence against women
The project supports smaller women's rights organisations via re-granting and capacity building in Bulgaria. It provides needs-based funding for combating violence against women with a focus on support, monitoring, evaluation and learning mechanisms.
Anti-racism and non-discrimination
The project fosters rights-based, democratic and inclusive societies at city level. It aims to implement intersectional anti-discrimination strategies in five cities in cooperation with civil society and the public administration. It also develops a system of equality data collection and strengthens the role of municipalities in combating discrimination.
LGBTIQ
The project aims to empower rainbow families (LGBTIQ individuals, their children and their larger families) in Slovenia and Croatia by educating them about their rights and enabling them to share good practices on legal protection. It develops educational activities for rainbow families and carries out research about their needs as well as surveys on the acceptance of rainbow families.
