The NODISCRIM project aims to develop a set of training and awareness-raising tools to identify different forms of discrimination in the workplace. These tools will offer assistance to trainers and workers' representatives within SMEs. The tools will provide a means of analysing and combating workplace discrimination on a range of grounds - sex, race/ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, criminal record or qualifications. Social Partners, training institutions and SMEs will carry out research across the partner countries to identify the different forms and combinations of discrimination in the workplace within SMEs. The pilot training tools will help workers' representatives develop their knowledge of the underlying concepts of discrimination and anti-discrimination legislation and activities.Combating workplace discrimination in all its forms, in SMEs, is an issue in the countries of all project partners and is dealt with in different ways. Consequently, the inherent methodology of the project is to address the complex pluralistic nature and manifestations of discrimination. This typology of discrimination will be supplemented with reference material on skills requirements for worker representatives, who have to intervene when workers in SMEs experience discrimination in the workplace, to this end, the training tools created aim to develop appropriate and adequate skills within this target group.The project's outputs will include a guide for trainers, a manual for trainees and an information file, each to be produced on paper and on CD-Rom.The partnership approach at local level will raise awareness and make a contribution to integrating the issue of discrimination in training and education in general. The six seminars organised in partners' countries will further assist this by attracting regional and specialist press coverage.
