We can do advocacy without knowing it. Or the critical and conscious rejection of this concept, born and consolidated in the Anglo-Saxon world, accompanies an idea of justice and social change from below. Regardless of the use of the definition of advocacy on a theoretical level, a plurality of initiatives promoted by anti-racist associations or movements pursue in Italy and Europe the universalistic guarantee of human and citizenship rights and fight against all forms of discrimination, xenophobia and racism. We have tried to document and study some of them. Based on this work, we are developing a training module specifically for those interested in organising advocacy initiatives in a strategic manner. We will test it in Rome from 4 to 8 June 2022 and then formalise it taking into account participants’ comments and evaluation.
