Kapital is a periodical magazine that brings together high-quality engaged journalism that deals with cultural and wider social phenomena. Processing and publishing the topics about vulnerable groups using a progressive, deeper and analytical approach is missing in Slovakia journalism. During the project, 15 articles about vulnerable groups will be prepared providing a voice directly to these groups (including Roma and other vulnerable groups). The project aim is to break down stereotypes about vulnerable groups and thus contribute to their anti-discrimination. It is particularly needed here in Slovakia based on the results of the Eurobarometer public opinion survey from October 2015, measuring issues of discrimination and intolerance. It pointed out a high level of rejection of ethnic and religious minorities by the inhabitants of Slovakia, in many cases the highest among all member countries of the European Union and it is getting worse over the course of years.
In the articles, participatory analysis and “Solution Journalism” methodology (based on presenting solutions instead of just pointing out problems) will be used. Another aim of the project is to formulate recommendations for public policies that creates basis for future advocacy work. Project actvities can be seen as an important contribution of the comprehensive approach to acceptance of vulnerable groups by the majority.
