Tolerance Poster Show at the Youth Cultural Center, Skopje, North Macedonia

The Tolerance Poster Show was part of “Defending European Values in the Accession Process”, an event which hosted more than 100 of the most prominent human rights defenders from the Western Balkans, Turkey and Central Europe. The event was held on December 2-3 2019 at the Youth Cultural Center in Skopje, North Macedonia.

"With this we wish to stress the importance that the European Union accession process plays and can play in the years to come for the six countries of the Western Balkans and for Turkey in terms of rule of law, human rights and peace processes in the region; Wish to underline yet again that a path towards accession to the European Union is a fundamental opportunity for the improvement of the human rights situation in the Western Balkans and Turkey, as well as for the countries’ democratization"

The event and the show was organized by the Civil Rights Defenders.
