Objectives

This project aimed to sensitize young people about the genocide of Roma, human rights and the mechanisms of racism and anti-Gypsyism, to develop capacities and motivate youth leaders and organizations to take an active role in promoting the memory and human rights education at the local, national and international levels. The project was based on a long-term partnership between Roma and non-Roma youth organizations to share practices and experiences and thus strengthen their cooperation for mutual respect and dialogue.
