On the initiative of the cities of Heidelberg and Bologna, a Working Group to combat anti-Black racism was formed in ECCAR in 2020. “People of African descent: recognition, justice and development.” is the theme for the International Decade for People of African Descent (2015-2024) as proclaimed by the UN General Assembly. The Working Group creates a forum for exchange and discussion of good practices on the implementation of the International Decade for People of African Descent (2015-2024) on a local level. It aims to analyze local policies for fighting anti-Black racism, and discrimination to formulate concrete policy recommendations for cities. The work is coordinated by Angelo Camufingo and ECCAR Director Evein Obulor. To learn more you can contact antiblackracism@eccar.info.
