The National Action Plan Against Racism (NPAR) will be published
later this year. The overall aim of the plan is to provide strategic
direction to combat racism and to develop a more inclusive,
intercultural society in Ireland based on policies that promote
interaction, equality of opportunity, understanding and respect.
To support the aims of the plan, the Department of Justice, Equality
and Law Reform in association with the National Consultative Committee
on Racism and Interculturalism (NCCRI) wishes to announce a grant
scheme to enable organisations to raise awareness about racism and
highlight cultural diversity in Ireland.
There are two types of grants available:
Scheme A will provide for
amounts of between €3,000 and €7,000 which
- Stimulate a public awareness of racism
- Help to create the conditions that make it more difficult for
racism to exist; and/or,
- Promote an inclusive approach to minority ethnic groups.
Scheme B will provide for
amounts of between €10,000 and €15,000 which are strategic projects
involving a number of partners which offer the potential to assist in
the development of an integrated and sustainable approach to
anti-racism and which add value to existing initiatives or which
develop new initiatives in this area.
