Today and tomorrow, the Polish city of Warsaw is hosting the project “Keep Crime out of Sport”, featuring a seminar aimed at identifying the “types of manipulations” and methods used by manipulators; the event will be attended by representatives from the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria. Under the programme “Intercultural Cities”, the Italian city of Turin will be the venue for a workshop on 13-14 September on intercultural communication and mediation aimed at local policy makers, which will equip them to challenge negative stereotypes about migration. In Yerevan, Armenia, the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities will be holding a seminar on “consultation mechanisms between local and national authorities” to launch a dialogue on various consultation mechanisms which can be adapted to the Armenian context. Also this week, the Congress will meet in Minsk to discuss the application of the European Charter of Local Self-Government to different contexts.
