PROGRESS: Has your organization seen
progress toward a culture of peace and nonviolence in your domain of
action and in your constituency during the first half of the Decade? |
Tolerance
and understanding have been promoted especially through EC- programmes
and training measures targeting at children and different professional
groups. Civil society has played a major role to create understanding
within local communities.
|
OBSTACLES: What are the most important obstacles that have prevented progress?
|
Public and political debate in Austria, foremost during election
campaigns,
has created a somewhat problematic opinion on marginalized groups. Some
of the largest migrant groups and especially asylum seekers are,
generally speaking, often discriminated.
