📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The general objective of the proposed project „Roma Youth Activation” is to engage two Roma and/or non-Roma people
in the diverse work of RGDTS in Budapest, through which they can learn about Roma communities (culture, identities,
political and public representation, human and minority rights), and their situation in Europe. Taking an active role in
seminars, workshops and trainings organized by RGDTS on Roma youth participation and active citizenship, human
rights and on challenging exclusion, discrimination and antigypsyism contributes to their common identity and helps them
to become agents in society. It also equips them with skills and knowledge in the project management cycle, which they
later can utilize in future community engagement or on the labour market. Volunteers, Roma or non-Roma will build
connections with young people of different minority backgrounds from all over Europe, and develop a sense of community
and unity building solidarity internationally.
