Chapter 6
Chapter 6 outlines a national action plan for mainstreamig the principle of
equal treatment.. The basic idea is to raise awareness on equal treatment
and create a platform of understanding for a horizontal apporach to combating
discrimination and promotion of equal treatment to the civil society..
The action plan includes:
• Publishing of a booklet containing the essential points and conclusions
made in the report;
• A range of seminars to be held by DIHR and/or the Equal Treatment
Committee for the supportbases of the member organisations of the
Equal Treatment Committee;
• Workshop 1: ‘The inclusive society’. The booklet and the seminars have
provided people with the appropriate knowledge to discuss the common
future goals. Every area of discrimination, represented by a group of six
people, will attend work shop 1, where they will discuss and debate what
they imagine ‘the inclusive society’ should entail. Each area will provide
a paper concerning the results of the discussions, outlining the defined
objects to be changed, and also recommendations of how to change these
objects – which actions are needed.
• Workshop 2 ‘A statement regarding the inclusive society’. The six papers
from workshop 1 will be discussed in workshop 2 across the areas in a
group of 12 people. Differences and similarities in the papers will be debated,
with the purpose to reach a common understanding of ‘the inclusive
society’ and the necessary actions to reach this. A draft of a statement
(declaration) regarding the inclusive society will be formed.
• Consensus Conference – at this conference the processes and results from
workshop 1 and 2 will be presented. All the members including general
secretaries of the organisations involved and other relevant persons will
be invited to discuss and debate the presentations. The results of this conference
will be disseminated with an invitation to a future hearing.
