Joint statement: Addressing racism requires commitment from the entire workplace community
The training program organized by THL to strengthen anti-racist practices in the workplace has concluded. The accelerator training brought together 28 organizations from various sectors across Finland to explore proactive measures for preventing racism and eliminating its impacts in their own workplaces. THL and the participating organizations remain committed to promoting anti-racist approaches within their organizations and in working life more broadly.
Anti-racism refers to active and conscious efforts to oppose all forms of racism. It aims to reduce discrimination based on skin color, ethnicity, and origin, as well as the effects of discriminatory practices and negative stereotypes. The year-long, free-of-charge training provided participants with tools to advance anti-racist work in their everyday practices and organizational culture.
Culture for All Service participated in the accelerator training.
