Strengthening Knowledge on Integration and Non-Discrimination

2026-07-22

The project ‘Strengthening Knowledge on Integration and Non-Discrimination’ (SKIN) is a 24-month project focusing on the grounds of race and ethnic origin. The main aim of this project is to identify the needs of and discrimination faced by vulnerable groups namely migrants and Muslims. Focus groups will be held with migrants and Muslims to better understand the discrimination faced, listen to their requirements directly and use such awareness to increase the NCPE’s and the project partner’s knowledge and expertise in the field. This will lead to the publication of a Report and an Action Plan to ensure sustainability of the project’s objectives beyond the project lifetime. SKIN will also focus on strengthening the knowledge and further empower the national equality body through capacity-building sessions on discrimination on the grounds of race and ethnic origin.; including familiarisation with the relevant terminology, better comprehension of the discrimination experienced by the vulnerable groups, and identification of further actions to be taken by NCPE. NCPE will then build on the knowledge gained through the capacity-building sessions by creating training content and tools for the NCPE’s use. The training content will be utilised to instil awareness, educate and empower four target groups namely trade union shop stewards, members from institutions/public entities, migrants and Muslims. Topics will focus on racism, anti-Muslim hatred, Afrophobia, rights and responsibilities at work and on the NCPE. An awareness-raising campaign will educate and raise awareness on integration with a particular focus on racism, Afrophobia and anti-Muslim hatred. Through these activities, the NCPE will seek to increase its visibility and build trust with the target groups. These actions will enable NCPE to achieve an important objective of the project to tackle under-reporting through the dissemination of information about NCPE’s services and investigations procedure.
