Generation 2.0 -Second Generation/ Institute for Rights, Equality and Diversity

Mission & Goals

Generation 2.0 for Rights, Equality & Diversity (Generation 2.0 RED) is an initiative launched by a group of young people with migrant origins. Operating as an informal group as far back as 2006, referred to as ‘Second Generation’, our mission was focused on securing the right to citizenship for the otherwise invisible generation of children, born and or raised in Greece from migrant backgrounds. Today, Generation 2.0 RED is a nonprofit organisation and consists of an interdisciplinary team, representing a mix of ethnicities and social backgrounds, sharing the common vision that all of us have the right to equal and active citizenry on an individual and communal level. Generation 2.0 RED’s mission focuses on individual and community empowerment, equal participation in a diverse society following a holistic approach with action and research, aiming to promote human rights, equality and diversity and fight against racism, xenophobia and discrimination.
