“Equality and non-discrimination” IXth Edition The project was conducted in a format of a Contest of essays and drawings on the theme of non-discrimination, the target group being made of students between the 6 to 19 years of age.

The main activities were:

• • Popularization of the contest in schools and high school in Bucharest and in the country;

• • Reception of the works on the address of “Dimitrie Cantemir” Christian University;

• • Composition of a jury with members from the partner institutions for each section;

• • Selection of the beset literary works to be published in a paper;

• • Selection of the best drawings to be published in a desk calendar;

• • Awarding the best works in a festive setting.

The project was promoted on the University’s website (http://ecn.ucdc.ro) in 36 schools and 8 high schools in Bucharest, and also in other counties (Constanta, Timiș, Giurgiu, Dâmbovița, Ilfov), through leaflets, posters and flyers, by the members of the research team, and by the School Inspectorate of Bucharest City, partner with the University and NCCD in this project. In the meetings with the students have been defined the concepts of discrimination, discrim- ination criteria, equal opportunities and were analysed concrete cases of discriminatory situations, brought by the members of the research team, but also proposed by students. It was found that students are interested in knowing the benefits of the right to non-discrim- ination and equal opportunities, but also in learning how not to discriminate, in their turn.

The requirement of the contest was the following:

Imagine that you have a new colleague, a child with disabilities or from another ethnic group. Create an essay (composition) to describe (based on your imagination or from practice) the experience that you could go through or you went through with this new colleague.
