In addition, the main objective of the conference is the creation of a discussion forum upon the existing situation of the phenomenon of racism, especially in urban transport and based on the results of the project. The ultimate goal is to develop synergies between key stakeholders for the holistic and effective handling of racist and xenophobic incidents against refugees and migrants.
