Abstract

The project “EU Charter of Fundamental rights: Awareness raising and Instruments to promote a culture of Rights” (FAIR) proposes a two-year set of awareness-raising and communication activities aimed at responding to the solicitation enshrined in the 2020 EU Commission “Strategy to strengthen the application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights in the EU” to develop initiatives to promote people’s awareness of their Charter rights and of where to turn when their rights are breached, in particular by empowering local actors.
The FAIR’s Consortium is made of 9 organisations based in as much EU Countries, and all are national contractors of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights multidisciplinary research network FRANET
