Creating equal societies

EU Diversity 2024 Initiatives 

Equality and diversity are a top priority for the European Commission. To fight discrimination and push for more equal societies, the Commission has adopted a proactive approach, with targeted action plans and measures.

As part of ongoing efforts to make good on its commitment to foster more inclusive and fair societies in Europe, the Commission is organising for the third time the European Capitals of Inclusion and Diversity Award. The initiative complements the annual European Diversity Month, which raises awareness about the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace and across our societies.

European Capitals of Inclusion and Diversity Award

Union of Equality / #DiversityCapitals

The Award recognises the work done by cities, towns, or regions in Europe to promote inclusion and create discrimination-free societies.

It is open for local authorities to apply and is a chance to show the world what these ‘capitals of inclusion’ are doing to create more diverse and inclusive spaces for their citizens.
