From 19 to 20 November 2009, the European Coalition of Cities against Racism (ECCAR) will organize its annual conference in Toulouse (France) under the theme: “Cities against Racism: New Challenges - New Partnerships: Shaping our Future”.

The Conference is intended to identify best strategies that cities can adopt to counteract racism and discrimination on the basis of the “Ten-Point Plan of Action” of ECCAR and also by taking into account the international economic and political context.

Working Group 1: Implementation of the Ten-Point-Plan of Action against Racism Presentation of Practical Examples: Combating Discrimination in Employment and Housing Working Group 2: Implementation of the Ten-Point-Plan of Action against Racism Presentation of Practical Examples: Greater Vigilance against Racism - More Participation and Better Informed City Dwellers Working Group 3: Promoting Social Cohesion in the Context of State Policies on Security: A Contradiction? Working Group 4: The Global Economic Crisis and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism In preparation of these working groups, ECCAR launched a call for papers to European cities (councillors and administrators) and researchers working with cities.
