Building bridges between minorities for stronger advocacy

The Kremenchug based NGO “Cultural Dialogue” works for tolerance and diversity promotion in the region. The campaign within EaPMN project conducted by “Cultural Dialogue” aimed to increase cooperation between various minorities and public in the region in order to strengthen tolerance and counter prejudices against minorities. 264 people took part in project activities. The campaign focused on cooperation between three main religious groups in the region: christians, muslims and jews. In order to break ice the “Cultural Dialogue” used informal education and facilitation tools such as videos, trainings and even crafts masterclasses.   The Project events were highly enlightened in media, which allowed to influence wider audience. Bright example of increased cooperation of minorities in the region was active participation of jewish community in “Muslim Culture” days, and vice versa. The campaign was also active on facebook https://www.facebook.com/events/792265467556122/
