On March 10-26, Human Rights Monitoring Institute joined the international community in a series of events organized in Lithuania within the annual European-wide Action Week to actively engage Lithuanians for tolerance, equal rights and a celebration of diversity.
The programme of Action Week against Racism 2007 includes various events and activities that are centered on youth and include discussions, art exhibitions, film screenings, and concerts.
Participants of the Action Week will have the unique opportunity to discover the culture of the people we see daily but know little about. Well-known artists will present their work and politicians, state officials and community leaders will discuss the sensitive issues related to racism.
