The Action Weeks bring people together
The FARE Action Weeks unites supporters, clubs, ethnic minorities and communities affected by other forms of discrimination across the continent in a concerted effort to make discrimination a thing of the past.
The idea behind the Action Weeks is that a wide range of initiatives and activities that address local problems within their club or community and join groups across the continent to present a unified stand against discrimination in the game.
The Action Weeks aim to:
- Increase public awareness of the discrimination in football
- Create a united front by bringing together everyone in football
- Develop ideas and new practices that challenge exclusion
A key part of the activities are the events that further social inclusion by bringing people of different communities together through sport.
What started as a minor campaign in nine countries in 2001 has now become the largest series of anti-discrimination activities in sport. In 2011 activities took place in 41 countries with some of Europe‘s top stars lending support to the campaign.
FARE offers financial support for grass-roots activities at the community level. We are able to offer small- scale support for 200 groups with a maximum of 400 EURO.
