The Diversity Toolkit for factual programmes in public service television was published by FRA in January 2008 ahead of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue. The Toolkit was developed by media professionals under the auspices of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and may be used for non-commercial purposes by journalists and programme makers in their daily work, or as a tool for training sessions and workshops. It contains information on how to promote the principles of cultural diversity in broadcast organisations and TV programmes. It brings together practical elements (checklists, references) and good practices. The Toolkit comes in the form of a handy ring binder and is available free-of-charge from FRA. The toolkit includes a DVD with examples from news and current affairs programmes from a dozen European countries illustrating some of the difficulties facing journalists when they report on minorities and its associated documentation.
