General information

Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia.
In 2025 the population of Cagliari is estimated to be approximately just under 150,000 inhabitants:

• 6,29% are foreigners;
• Average age is 51 for Italian citizens and 32 for citizens of other nationalities;

The Municipality of Cagliari shares ECCAR’s values, principles and aims and recognises the need to implement local policies to successfully combat racism and any other type of discrimination and to promote a culture of inclusion, in addition to strengthening those already in place.
The biggest challenge is to break down stereotypes and cognitive biases of any kind, which can often lead to discrimination against the most marginalized communities, in order to make the city of Cagliari a place where there is no room for discrimination.
