The Study on Media & Diversity Validation Seminar was held in Prague on 5-6 February 2009.
The Study on Media & Diversity, conducted by the International Federation of Journalists, Internews Europe, and the Media Diversity Institute, on behalf of the EC, has identified initiatives by, or about, the media that counter discrimination and promote diversity, throughout 30 European countries. Over the past six months, over 150 initiatives have been identified across Europe and the best 30 examples have been selected to be included in the final publication together with recommendations for future action based on the research.
The purpose of the seminar was to debate the findings and recommendations of the Study prior to their finalisation and publication. Around 100 participants attended, among whom representatives from the European Commission, the European media and civil society organisations, including representatives from the 30 best examples identified by the Study, as well as representatives of the EU umbrella NGOs active in the fight against discrimination, and of European equality bodies.
More information will soon be posted on this site, including pictures from the seminar and the list of 30 selected initiatives.
