Promoting dialogue and resolving differences. Finding and then implementing solutions. Even when prejudices, differences of opinion and failure to understand militate against it. That's what the LBR, national centre of expertise for the prevention of racial discrimination, aims to foster. With an attentive ear and sensitivity to questions, doubts and exchanges of opinion. Without pointing the finger in rebuke and with a sense of humour if at all possible.

Wide expertise in the area of dealing with racial discrimination

The LBR applies its expertise to support individuals and organizations in a practical fashion. A team of information advisors, documentation specialists, legal advisors, policy advisors and researchers are there to find answers to fit a wide range of questions. For each situation an analysis is made in close consultation with the client to determine the best solution and then a recommendation is formulated. In view of the importance of prevention, the LBR maintains good contacts with associated organizations in the country. This serves to stimulate the introduction and application of preventive policy. The LBR has at its disposal a broad range of possibilities and materials for combating racial discrimination and promoting good interethnic relations.
