SOLID - Strategies on Litigation Tackling Discrimination in EU Countries

“A society that recognises, values and respects differences, where human rights protection and the equality principle for Ethnic and Racial Minorities are realised.”

SOLID's Mission

“The project aims at the achievement of effective transposition and implementation of the Race Equality and Framework Directives through empowerment, capacity building and partnership, promoting equality for Ethnic and Racial Minority groups across the European Union.”

Target Groups

The target audience for the training will be NGO’s directly supporting members of Ethnic and Racial Minority groups. This includes organisations working on a number of grounds of discrimination, organisations working on Human Rights more generally with specific projects/focus on Ethnic and Racial Minorities, and single-identity organisations (e.g. Roma support organisations etc). The target audience for the training will be NGOs directly supporting members of Ethnic and Racial Minority groups. This includes organisations working on a number of grounds of discrimination, organisations working on Human Rights more generally with specific projects/focus on Ethnic and Racial Minorities, and single-identity organisations (e.g. Roma support organisations etc).
The training is the start of a process, and organisations will be selected on the basis of their ability to continue this work after the training. The primary selection will relate to the organisation, and while the individual will not necessarily have to be and employee, there will have to be a sufficiently strong link between the organisation and the individual participant for the training to be of benefit to the organisation, not only the individual. Therefore the selection criteria, application process and preparation before the training will be crucial.
The selection of NGOs will also take account of other projects working in a similar field within the country, to ensure complementarity.
