Abstract

What is the role local NGOs may have in implementing antidiscrimination policies? Departing from the concepts of governance and subsidiarity, within the EU policy framework against racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and Romanophobia, the chapter first problematizes the use of language in the media. The chapter assesses the role of mass media across Europe, how they influence intolerant behaviours, and how, conversely, they also contribute positively in combating discrimination and promoting cultural diversity. Finally it provides and exemplary case of NGOs activation to debunk stereotypes. The case study is base on seven “local press units” (LPU) composed on the informing idea that the “cross-community approach” allows them to develop their own mutual understanding before moving towards the framing of antidiscrimination activities.
