Best Practice

D-A-S-H is accompanying active groups in need of advice, help or additional resources for the realisation of their innovative ideas. D-A-S-H is supporting projects in the realisation of exemplary concepts of networking against racism and exclusion - in Germany there are also financial resources available for support.

D-A-S-H is researching and investigating projects in Europe that use old and new media in the struggle against exclusion, racism, anti-Semitism and right winged extremism with much imagination and creativity. Particular attention is thereby given to the local approaches of small groups. Five Editors from Spain, France, Austria, the Netherlands and Germany present exemplary projects on a regular basis with groups on the European Internetplattform. The best practice projects presented are examples and suggestions for contacts or discussion, exciting local practices and possibly their proliferation.
