The European Year of Equal Opportunities for All was held in 2007. This designation was made on 31 May 2005 by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities. It was part of a concerted effort to promote equality and non-discrimination in the European Union.

Main working themes

The four core themes of the European Year proposed by the European Commission were:

  • Rights – raising awareness of the right to equality and non-discrimination
  • Representation – stimulating a debate on ways to increase the participation of under-represented groups in society
  • Recognition – celebrating and accommodating diversity
  • Respect and tolerance – promoting a more cohesive society
