Visions for a More Inclusive Society
https://www.acctforchange.eu/announcing-the-winners-of-the-acct-poster-campaign/
We
are thrilled to announce the winners of the ACCT (Anti-Racism & Civic
Courage Training) poster competition. Launched earlier this year, the campaign
sought to encourage public engagement in the fight against racism, xenophobia,
and discrimination in communities across the European Union.
About
the Campaign
The
ACCT project is a collaboration between six partner organizations across
Europe, committed to reducing hate speech, discrimination, and hate crimes in
both urban and rural areas. The poster competition was an integral part of our
awareness-raising campaign and was aimed at inviting people from all walks of
life to share their vision of an equitable society. The campaign will reach
600,000 people both online and offline through various media channels,
including social media, newsletters, print media, and a visual campaign on
public transportation in Denmark & Germany.
We
are immensely grateful for the overwhelming response we received: more than 50
entries from 7 different countries! Each poster was a testament to the talent
and social commitment of our participants.

want to emphasize the value of empathy for those who suffer any form of
discrimination, focusing on racism. I dream of an inclusive society, and I know
it’s possible if we all want
to be a part of it.”

public transportation in Denmark & Germany. They will also be available for
