Description:
The project “EU Charter of Fundamental rights: Awareness raising and Instruments to promote a culture of Rights” (FAIR), is promoted by a consortium of 9 organisations based in nine different EU countries – Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain. FAIR steps in the framework of and is a direct response to the solicitations enshrined in the European Commission’s 2020 "Strategy to Strengthen the Application of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights". This strategy, launched on the 20th anniversary of the EU Charter, outlines significant progress and persistent challenges in its implementation across EU Member States.
The Commission’s strategy proposes four key actions to strengthen the application of the Charter:
- Ensure effective implementation by Member States
- Empower civil society organisations, rights defenders, and justice professionals
- Promote the use of the Charter as a guide for EU institutions
- Increase public awareness of Charter rights
