Building upon standards set by the various Council of Europe bodies on media pluralism, diversity and non-discrimination as well as the outcome of the 2008-10 CoE’s antidiscrimination Campaign, the Media Against Racism in Sport (MARS) EU / CoE joint programme aims to promote non-discrimination and the expression of diversity as an ongoing angle of sporting media coverage.
In achieving this outcome, the MARS programme offers media professionals (journalism students and trainers, journalists, media managers, etc.) the opportunity to participate in National and European Media Encounters and European Media Work Exchanges, conceived as first steps towards a European media network against racism and in favour of intercultural dialogue.
