International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

On March 21st 2022, on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, almost 150,000 postcards written by students will be sent, like bottles in the sea, to unknown recipients. 

Each of these postcards will include a message of fraternity and solidarity produced in a writing workshop. Six European partners, including France, Spain, Croatia, Poland, Italy and Slovenia are participating in this operation as part of the Erasmus+ Build European Solidarity Today project. 

For months, the students have worked with their teachers on analyzing photos which speak of diversity, discrimination and values such as equality, solidarity, justice and respect, after which they randomly selected the recipient of the postcard and wrote his message of solidarity. 

 

In a period of doubt and sometimes of fragility, it is necessary to do everything possible to avoid withdrawal based upon different identities and to continue to build a society that is proud of its diversity. Through these activities, everyone can learn how to debate and confront ideas as well as image reading and writing. 

 

All this is fundamental also to understand that we are all the same and we are all different and diversity is not something that divides us but that, in all forms and shades, UNITES US ALL.
