Annual campaign against racism kicks off

Tomorrow marks the beginning of Quebec's annual Action Week Against Racism and this year's theme is The Workplace: Racism Free Zone.
With the recent hijab soccer controversy and the results of the 2006 census showing that immigration is booming, it's timely to have this 10-day period dedicated to talking about and looking at ways to make our world and our workplaces free of racism and xenophobia.
Between now and March 25, there will be two open-house days at the Montreal Holocaust Museum , talks and lectures at various cultural centres in Montreal, a round-table discussion on reasonable accommodation in schools and a human-rights film festival taking place at Cinema du Parc.
Organizers of the eighth installment of the awareness campaign are also focusing on the children, nipping racism in the bud.
There will be group activities in parent/child workshops at the toy-lending centre of YMCA in St. Laurent and a drawing activity for children ages 6 to 10 on what a world without racism would look like.
A Caravan of Tolerance with two moderators will go to two schools on the West Island to build awareness of prejudice and discrimination and an exhibition of cinema, photography and visual arts relating to the views of college aged students towards issues of racism and discrimination at Cégep de St. Laurent.
The open house days at the Holocaust Museum are this Sunday and March 25 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The Human Rights Film Festival runs March 23 to 29 at Cinema du Parc. The film schedule can be found at http://www.ffdpm.com
