· Project Title: Equality in Petrozavodsk, Russia
· Project Manager name: Alyona Lukina
· Project summary:
Many people in Petrozavodsk, especially minorities, are discriminated. The situation is pressing after the events in Manezhnaya square, Moscow and a string of acts of terror. Many blame Muslims in the facts above. Some Muslims can really be guilty but the citizens of our city abuse and discriminate all of them, though the majority of them are upright people and have no connection with the acts of terror.
Our team is sure that if we reduce and prevent further minorities discrimination, there will be less conflicts and violence. When population are trained, they are able to solve conflicts peacefully and live in harmony in multicultural communities.
In this project our team is going to reduce discrimination in Petrozavodsk for 30% via work with the citizens. We will hold 5 trainings in tolerance and diplomacy for functionaries, teachers, NGO workers and the youth in 2011. At the end of December 2011 we expect the participants to share the results at a circular table. Besides, we plan creation a total newsletter and a group on www.facebook.com and www.vkontakte.ru to further communication and information exchange.
