Presentation of the publication

WE ARE THE OTHERS
A Europe of Diversity against Racism

Conference with Martin Schulz and Cecilia Malmström on the occasion of the presentation of the FES Publication Right-Wing Extremism in Europe
at May 27, 2013, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Berlin

This conference as well as the collective volume will contribute to the current assessment of the problem and to the debate on counter strategies and prospects for an effective positioning against the radical far-right in Europe, for which the European Union is a preferred enemy target.
It is there-fore even more crucial to maintain the image of Europe as a positive identification point for its citizens, and to vigorously oppose racist ideology by upholding the European model of a democratic society based on human rights, diversity and social justice.

Further information are to be found in our program.

The conference was broadcast via live stream at this website.
A video recording and an interview with Cecilia Malmström will be published here soon.
