On this page you will find some background information on the project.
A European effort
This project was financed by the European Union with funding from the Action Programme to Combat Discrimination. We would like to thank the EU for making it possible to create this manual, which is in itself a good example of true European collaboration and will we hope, provide an example of good practice of combating discrimination as well.
The project team and the process
The manual was developed by the "TRIANGLE" project team, made up of representatives from five countries:
Dr. Pascal Belling (Ministerium für Gesundheit, Soziales, Frauen und Familie des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, project director)
Flora Bolter (ProChoix)
Peter Dankmeijer (Empowerment Lifestyle Services)
Martin Enders (SchLAu NRW)
Margherita Graglia (Arcigay)
Karen Kraan (Schorerstichting)
Dr. Stefan Timmermanns (SchLAu NRW, project coordinator)
Wolfgang Wilhelm (Wiener Antidiskriminierungsstelle für gleichgeschlechtliche Lebensweisen).
The short stories in every chapter have been written by the author and youth worker Adriana Stern. She already published "Hannah und die anderen" (Argument Verlag 2001) and "Pias Labyrint" (Argument Verlag 2003).
We did our best to raise the quality of this work as much as we could. We even carried out research to get objective feedback. If you are interested, you can find out more about this on the page on research or in the downloads with our process evaluation. Responsible for the research were Dr. Floor Bakker and Dr. Ine Vanwesenbeeck of Rutgers Nisso Groep.
The partners of the project team surely will spend some time on further implementation of the manual! Feel free to contact us.
