Širjenje, lokalno delovanje: Slovenija

Kampanja »Za raznolikost. Proti diskriminaciji.« je v polnem razmahu v vseh državah članicah EU-27. Namen kampanje, ki jo je začela Evropska komisija, je informirati ljudi o njihovih pravicah in dolžnostih po protidiskriminacijski zakonodaji, ki velja za vso EU. To jesen se bo povezala z več kot sto prireditvami po vsej Evropi, da bi dvignila ozaveščenost o problemu diskriminacije v vseh oblikah in pri lokalnem občinstvu spodbudila zavedanje o prednostih raznolikosti.

[21.12.2007] - Winner of the European Union and MTV's creative competition promoting diversity and equality announced

Creative competition: winning picture

19-year-old Elena Bezborodova, a Russian student living in Limerick, Ireland, has been selected by the public as the winner of the creative competition promoting Diversity and Equality.  Her picture has been chosen from among more than 500 entries from all over the EU which ranged from photographs and posters to collages and videos.

Elena impressed the voters with a fresh, young and visually appealing design depicting apples, all different in colour, taste and origin, but which are in fact all equally crunchy and tasty.  Elena wins a trip for two valued at EUR 4.000 to her favourite European city and a digital camera to register the most memorable moments of this journey. A selection of the twenty best entries will be used in awareness-raising initiatives throughout the EU and will be featured on the competition's website (www.eudiversity.com) throughout 2008.

The European Union launched this competition to raise awareness on equality and the fight against discrimination with a 30-second advertisement spot on MTV, the world's largest youth channel.  The ad called on viewers to enter visual artwork on the theme of diversity and equality.  As part of the competition, a DiverseCity webpage was launched.  Here visitors could upload their artwork between 22 October and 8 December, after which they could promote their favourite entry during an online voting from 9 until 16 December.

The competition was part of the 2007 European Year of Equal Opportunities for All, an EU-wide action year that ran in parallel with the five-year 'For Diversity, Against Discrimination' campaign.  Part of its mission was to inform the public that there are laws to protect people that are discriminated against because of their gender, racial and ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, age and disability.

[15.10.2007] - Nika Vistoropski slovenska zmagovalka EU novinarske nagrade 2007

National winner of the Journalist Award 2007: Nika Vistoropski

Nika Vistoropski, novinarka Delove priloge Ona, je slovenska zmagovalka EU nateèaja »Novinarska nagrada 2007«, ki ga je v okviru EU kampanje »Za raznolikost. Proti diskriminaciji.« ¾e petiè zapored razpisala Evropska unija. Njenemu prispevku z naslovom »Z otroki bi raje govorili o invalidnosti kot homoseksualnosti«, ki obravnava probleme mladostnikov homoseksualcev, je slovenska ¾irija prisodila najveè toèk. Avtorica v prispevku zajema predsodke dru¾be v zvezi z homoseksualci. Razgrinja ravno problematiko mladostnikov, ki ¹ele odkrivajo svojo identiteto in se torej zelo zgodaj spopadajo z negativnimi odzivi okolja na svojo razliènost. Hkrati pa opozarja na vrsto nujnih sprememb v razmi¹ljanju in pristopu do mladostnikov tako pri star¹ih, kakor pri ¹olskih oblasteh in ¹e kje.

Nika Vistoropski se bo skupaj z ostalimi nacionalnimi zmagovalci iz dr¾av èlanic EU potegovala za vseevropsko nagrado EU, ki je ¹tudijsko potovanje v eno od dr¾av èlanic EU po izbiri. Nagrado bo podelila evropska ¾irija 18. decembra 2007 v Bruslju.
