Mobilizing cultural resources to build an anti-racist youth network

Never Again mobilizes cultural resources to build an anti-racist youth network in Poland.  Through targeted music and sports events, the organization has been able to recruit and sustain popular involvement in anti-racist action. Youth mobilized through Never Again’s events often become involved as network anti-racism correspondents at the local level throughout Poland.  As a direct result of its youth-focused campaigns, Never Again has established a network of 150 voluntary correspondents who report on racist and xenophobic activity in their communities.  Never Again is able to share the correspondents’ reports on the national and international level.  It has also raised awareness about racism among a much larger cross-section of Polish society.

notebook: Breaking the Silence

This notebook describes how Never Again (nigdy Wiecej), a Polish anti-racism group uses a number of tactics to attract volunteers and spread information about hate crimes and racism in Poland.  Never again targets young people through concerts and football games and recruits them to join the cause.  Some of these volunteers become correspondents that collect and publish information about racism in Poland and send this information to the media. This tactic encourages the spread of information for general education.
