Galway City marked the International Day Against Racism in a very special way by launching 'Towards A City of Equals - Galway City Anti-Racism Strategy'
Towards a city of equals envisages Galway city as an intercultural city free of racism and sees as its mission the elimination of racism in Galway city. The approach taken by Towards a city of equals is that of the National Plan Against Racism which emphasises the notion of interculturalism. Interculturalism is about creating the conditions for interaction, understanding, equality of opportunity and respect between all communities in Ireland in the belief that Irish society as a whole will benefit and be enriched
The strategy includes a Declaration that can be signed by individuals and organisations who wish to express their solidarity with the strategy. The signed Declaration should be returned to Galway City Partnership.
