What is the NCCRI?

The National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism (NCCRI) was established in 1998 as an independent expert body focusing on racism and interculturalism. The NCCRI is a partnership body which brings together government and non-government organisations to:

* Develop an inclusive and strategic approach to combat racism by focusing on its prevention and promoting an intercultural society
* Contribute to policy and legislative developments and seek to encourage dialogue and progress in all areas relating to racism and interculturalism
* Encourage integrated actions towards acknowledging, celebrating and accommodating cultural diversity
* Establish and maintain links with organisations or individuals involved in addressing racism and promoting interculturalism at national, European and international level
* Provide a national framework for responding to and consulting with key European and international bodies on issues related to racism and interculturalism.
