Open your mind - what is discrimination?!Deschide-ți mintea - ce este discriminarea?!

EN: Despite the fact that nowadays discrimination is a widely debated phenomenon, not everybody is aware of it, acts or pays attention when witnessing or being involved in a discrimination act. Even though according to some studies, both the national and the European levels of discrimination have improved in 2012 compared to the situation in 2009, we are still confronting a negative attitude when it comes to changing beliefs towards minorities.

RO: În ciuda faptului că în ziua de azi discriminarea este un fenomen larg dezbătut, nu toată lumea este conştientă, acţionează sau dă atenţie atunci când este martoră sau implicată într-un act de discriminare. Conform unor studii, situaţia discriminării la nivel naţional şi european s-a îmbunătăţit în anul 2012 în raport cu anul 2009, însă tot ne confruntăm cu o atitudine negativă atunci când vine vorba de schimbarea mentalităţii faţă de minorităţi.
