Abi Foundation – a Romanian non-profit organisation active in initiating and supporting projects in the field of education, culture and sports – is working on the launch of a Diversity Chart in Romania and is looking for European partners to join their project that will be submitted within the call for proposal ‘Action grants to support national or transnational projects on non-discrimination and Roma integration’ (REC-RDIS-DISC-AG-2016).

This call focuses on supporting activities for racial or ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, older/younger people, religious minorities and LGBTI people, and it is structured on the following priority areas:

• Fighting against discrimination based on sexual orientation in society and promoting the rights of LGBTI people;
• Diversity management in the public and private sector: identification of existing practices, measurement of diversity management benefits, and awareness-raising;
• Roma: activities aiming to raise awareness and combat harmful stereotypes of Roma and supporting thereby their integration into mainstream society;
• To raise awareness about intergenerational solidarity and non-discrimination on the basis of age (in particular of young people).

The main activities of this project will be the identification of existing practices, measurement of diversity management benefits, and awareness-raising among the public and private sector.
