Challenge the stigmatization and prejudiced stereotyping. Strengthen the Roma voice in order to raise awareness for active citizenship. Young Roma want to stand up and have their own say.
Results of the project
A wide scale campaign was started and challenged the stigmatization and prejudiced stereotyping as root causes for the social exclusion of the Roma.
A competition was launched among municipalities with regard to the Roma inclusion, in which 7 municipalities participated.
The participating organisations carried out a variety of other awareness-raising activities in their countries, including establishing temporary `Inclusion zones`, where the Roma and non-Roma met and discussed about stereotypes.
The participating NGOs also collected stories for a so-called Black & White book, which was presented during the Roma Summit in Córdoba. The book presents the stories of successful and failed Roma integration.
