Generation 2.0 for Rights, Equality and Diversity

Generation 2.0 for Rights, Equality & Diversity (Generation 2.0 RED) is a nonprofit organization consisted of people who fight for the rights of socially vulnerable groups, regardless of their origin, ethnicity, religion, gender or sexual orientation. Our purpose is to promote human rights, equality and diversity, fight racism, xenophobia and discrimination. We identify social issues, develop culturally specific actions and promote social change in Greece and throughout Europe. G2RED gathers a multi- and interdisciplinary team of members and cooperating experts who are acclaimed scholars in social sciences (sociology, economy, law, anthropology, social psychology, pedagogy) and political activists on anti-discrimination, migration, social equality, human rights and political participation. Our organization has experience in social action, sociological and legal research, project management and cultural events. We participate and collaborate with the biggest human rights networks not only in Greece but also in Europe, always aiming to the equal participation of people (with migrant origins, immigrants, refugees and natives) in the social and political life of the country they live in. We use creative dissemination strategies that are based on the principles of participative democracy, in that we share our research outcomes through social action, capacity building, and knowledge sharing directly to the communities with which we work and to which we also belong. We hold the view that collaboration and collective engagement produces the best social impact for everyone involved; thus each program we develop is culturally, scientifically, ethically and politically informed and grounded in the African ethical principle of Ubuntu: "The belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity".
