International Day Against Racism: 21st March 2003
The Know Racism Campaign, the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland and the NCCRI are co-ordinating activities to celebrate International Day Against Racism, March 21st and European Week Against Racism, March 15th - 23rd 2003.

There are already a number of significant events planned for this March by different organisations around Ireland and a guide will be published which will list all the proposed events.

Organisations are invited to participate in the celebration by organising an event with an anti-racism theme. The key themes for March 2003 are gender and the importance of anti-racism training.

If your organisation is interested, please let us know what you are proposing to do for inclusion in the guide before Monday 10th February 2003.
