📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Nakelamos Intercultural Association is a non-profit organization founded in 2002 as an informal platform by a group
of Roma and non-Roma in collaboration with students and activists of the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
Nakelamos was created as a multicultural and intercultural entity in 2004, and has a 17-year history of social work and
activism within the Roma community at the local and regional level. Nakelamos develops its activities and projects with
different groups, with special attention to young people and with an important collaboration with other groups and informal
entities in defense of common values and objectives for society.
One of the main objectives is to provide tools to individuals and groups in the Roma community to participate in different
areas of political decision making in the neighborhoods or cities. Participation in existing democratic structures is essential
to strive for inclusion and cohesion, and to claim recognition of Roma as full citizens. Knowledge of local realities enables
you to analyze and discuss people's needs and demands without promoting paternalistic attitudes that end up
undermining self-esteem.
💼 What the programme involves
The main objective of the project is to offer opportunities to Roma or non-Roma young people who want to commit to building an inclusive society that respects dignity and human rights. Through action they will become engines of a shift towards a plural, egalitarian, solidal and responsible society. The main objectives of the project are the following: -Promote cooperation and mutual understanding between Roma and non-Roma youth to enrich the social fabric with a new way of living together. - Promote the values of respect, solidarity, freedom of being and thinking, justice and equality for all. - Overcome discrimination based on ethnicity, sex, gender, religious or political opinions and promote intercultural dialogue, particularly between the Roma population of Barcelona and the other populations present in the territory. - Recover and publicize the local Roma history and culture and Roma history and culture of Europe, both among the Roma and non-Roma community

At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
