The Football People Actions Weeks bring together thousands of groups in a unified stand against discrimination and for equality.
The aim of the period is to challenge discrimination and celebrate the contribution we all make to football, wherever we live, whatever our connection to the game, whatever our background. Activities that address problems and celebrate diversity will reach out across Europe and even beyond.
Get involved
Alongside activities by professional clubs and leagues, such as at the Champions League and the Europa League, the period gives fans, minority groups and grassroots football clubs the space to celebrate the inclusive power of football.
Everyone involved and interested in football is invited to take a clear stand against discrimination and join the Action Weeks with their own activities. Be creative, develop activities and share them with us.
Small Grants and Events Grants to help activities
For the first time Fare is offering two different types of grants to support activities:
- To help organise local level activities the small grants scheme of up to €400 is available
- There is also now an opportunity to apply for grants of up to €3000 to facilitate larger-scale national events. There are only six grants of this type available.
Small Grants
For grassroots organisations, fan groups and other unfunded groups we can offer financial support of up to €400. These grants are aimed to help smaller organisations that want to participate in the Action Weeks on a local level and address local problems.
Activities that can be supported include the production of campaigning materials (banners, flyers, fanzines, posters, t-shirts, stickers), the production of fan choreographies and flags, the organisation of stadium actions and community days and football related intercultural events such as matches, debates or tournaments.
2013 Event Grants
For large scale activities Fare can offer Events Grants of up to €3000. These aim to support national level interventions in the framework of the Action Weeks that seek to generate a long term impact and address issues related to discrimination and social inclusion.
