UK plan not to fully participate in Erasmus+ programme is a deliberate discrimination against Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Organisations ( BAME).

UK plan not to fully participate in Erasmus+ programme is a deliberate discrimination against Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Organisations ( BAME).

Erasmus+ programme was accessible by UK small  BAME organisations, NGOs, social enterprises and charities, particularly in relation to inclusion. If UK  leaves Erasmus+ programme, and launches a similar programme ( UK Erasmus+),  BAME  organisations will  not have access to this new UK programme. It is well known that UK funding programmes do not have  strong criteria in relation to diversity, equality and inclusion. The UK organisations which  have money ( reserves)  and led by the white  are the ones who gets funding money.

Even if UK decides to participate in EU Erasmus+ programmes,  the programme actions that involve BAME organisations and other small organisations working with young people with fewer opportunities will be excluded.  The UK government prefers to participate in Erasmus+ Programmes  that are dominated by the UK white class. This is another example of  deliberate discrimination against BAME organisations being planned by the UK government.

UK BAME organisations face discrimination in all funding programmes.  They will  not have access to the new UK funding   similar to Erasmus+ programme  ( being designed by the  Tory Administration). This new funding will  be more accessible to larger white-led organisations as it is the case regarding International Development Funding Programmes run by the UK government  and dominated by  UK NGOs working in Africa and other developing regions.

[RwandaLibre] Rwanda : 19 ans après les massacres de Kibeho restent toujours impunis

  http://www.fdu-rwanda.com/ Rwanda : 19 ans après les massacres de Kibeho restent toujours impunis avril 22, 2014     Ce 22 avril 2014 est un triste anniversaire. Souvenons-nous, en effet, c'est à cette date que plus de 8'000 réfugiés dans le camp de Kibeho furent tués à l'arme lourde et aux lance-roquettes des soldats du Front Patriotique Rwandais. Des dizaines de milliers de rescapés du camp qui ont tenté ensuite de s'échapper ont été froidement abattus sur leur chemin de retour, les uns, jetés dans des fosses communes, d'autres, jonchés tout le long des routes, d'autres enfin, tout simplement disparus, sans la moindre trace.   Le camp de réfugiés de Kibeho abritait près de 200000 personnes. Que l'on se rappelle, c'est peu avant le 17 avril 1995 que, sous le prétexte fallacieux de démantèlement de prétendus arsenaux d'armes, six bataillons de l'armée du FPR (2000 hommes) et de la...
