SUMMARY:

The project is in accordance with the Italian Office against Racial Discrimination (UNAR - has the purpose of promoting equal treatment and removing all forms of racial and ethnic discrimination) to assist the territorial networks against discrimination and strengthen the existing reporting services.

SPORTANTENNE operates through 16 SEATS AGAINST DISCRIMINATION distributed throughout the country in different cities: 16 Antennas UISP in support of victims of discrimination who have the task to promote and support:

• Prevention against discrimination: through awareness with information opportunities and local initiatives;
• Emersion of discriminatory behaviors: through the service of reports collection offered by UISP (through the active role of all its local committees and clubs, and activation and promotion of 16 LOCAL UISP ANTENNAS that will be equipped with specialized staff and specific tools) or indirectly, using the UISP network to spread the tools already activated by UNAR (Contact Center: on-line desk and anti-discrimination phone number) with which the report form will be shared.
• Mediation of conflict: mediation interventions that UISP will process through the action of a NATIONAL TASK FORCE, consist either in an attempt to direct resolution of the case, both in the organization of events, sports initiatives and parallel events of awareness in contexts of origin of reports.

OBJECTIVES:

To prevent and combat direct and indirect discriminations based on racial or ethnic origin in respect of third countries’s citizens  through the implementation of the NATIONAL PLAN OF ACTION AGAINST RACISM, xenophobia and intolerance (2015) prepared by UNAR and approved by the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, particularly where recommended greater use of mediation as a tool of anti-discrimination and the strengthening and expansion of the national anti-discrimination network.

In particular:

• To conduct an AWARENESS CAMPAIGN on the different forms of discrimination;
• To promote REPORTING SERVICES (UNAR Contact Center: green number and online desk);
• To build an anti-discrimination WIDESPREAD NETWORK with extensive geographical presence from UISP network, and through the involvement of other actors;
• To promote and consolidate a system of  LOCAL UISP ANTENNAS aimed to collect reports of abuse and discriminatory acts (according to the recommendations of the National Plan);
• To develop and implement MEDIATION WORK and effective resolution of emerging conflicts through sports and parallel advocacy initiatives (according to the recommendations of the National Plan).
