Objectives

The project 'Inclusive Action Movement for the ROMA community' aims to bring together a group of young Roma and non-Roma people from different countries in the city of Braga, in order to enable the exchange between them, to jointly discuss the theme of inclusion, to engage directly with the local Roma community, to sensitize the local community to the problems of Roma discrimination and social exclusion and to motivate young people to become more involved in activities to promote the inclusion of Roma and other minority groups in their countries. The project aim to reach: - the deconstruction of stereotypes and prejudices associated with the gypsy ethnicity, together with the increase of knowledge about the same ethnic group - the development of critical thinking and empathy among the young people involved in the project - the strengthening of values like equality, justice and human rights among all people involved in the project - the dynamization of activities related to Urban Arts and other cultural activities in Gypsy communities - the intercultural sharing between Roma and non-Roma youngsters - the development of street activities aimed at alerting the local community to the importance of Roma inclusion - the creation of dissemination materials for the activities developed during the project and its subsequent replication in the other countries involved We believe that this project can be a first step on the long path that has to be taken at European level towards the social inclusion of Roma people, and we hope to achieve positive results and possible replication of the project activities in other European countries.
