TOLERACE envisaged its commitment to policy-relevant research on the grounds of providing clarification of the contexts that harbour certain political options and prevalent policy framings associated with anti-racism, anti-discrimination and ethno-racial equality. Accordingly, throughout the project, TOLERACE engaged in dialogue with policy-makers, academia, political activists and stakeholders at local, regional and national levels. This contributed to the pursuit of a grounded and informed account of the contemporary logics of racism and anti-racist struggles, as well as to the dissemination and discussion of findings.

The research findings helped to map out the difficulties involved in discussing racism in contemporary European contexts and to propose a way forward by identifying approaches and key areas in which a sound debate on anti-racism can be constructed. TOLERACE aims to continue the dialogue with policy and decision-makers, representatives of regional and local authorities, political activists, members of grassroots and local associations, academics, school teachers, trade union representatives and journalists.
