GIVE A HAND!

Say No to racism and yes to tolerance and human rights in Europe

Let’s gather at least 1000 hand prints!

Between 28-30 May a symbolic action is being organized in a number of Budapest locations:

Gödör klub, Puskás Ferenc Stadium and Hotel Benczúr.

The arriving audience of the friendly Hungary – Germany football match can symbolically support tolerance toward minorities with a ’hand print’ on a large, colorful banner. The captains of each team will put a final hand print before the start of the match. Young people from different countries are coming to carry out a visible action in support of tolerance and human rights.

Event background: From 2009-2010 civic organizations and youth in a number of European countries (Bulgaria, Denmark, Hungary, Germany)  have been carrying out actions in their communities, in support of the values of tolerance, human rights and diversity.  The program, which relates especially to the Roma, will hold its closing conference in Budapest, May 28-29. As part of the conference program, participants will organize a number of events, in which their message will be brought to the attention of a broader audience.
