With the new EU Roma strategic framework on equality, inclusion and participation 2020-2030 (COM(2020) 620 final) the European Commission recognized the lack of progress in Roma inclusion and identified antigypsyism as the root cause of exclusion for Roma in the Member States and by September 2021 the States had to submit their national strategies aimed to tackle those obstacles. But how can we ensure that Roma youth are involved in all processes related to the implementation of the national Roma strategies of the new EU Roma strategic framework on equality, inclusion and participation? The political participation of Roma, and Roma youth in particular, is not adequately addressed in the new framework, as it is considered only in broad terms and lacks specific goals, with mainstream youth policies too often not targeting Roma youth, and regularly available policies not reflecting the realities and needs of young Roma. This project therefore aimed to raise awareness about human rights and the mechanisms of racism and antigypsyism, to build capacity and motivate Roma youth leaders and organizations to take an active role in the implementation and monitoring of national Roma strategic frameworks. The project continues a longstanding partnership between Roma youth organizations to share practices and experiences and to strengthen their cooperation for active citizenship and political participation at the international, national and local level. The project builds the capacity of youth organizations to act against antigypsyist hate speech as it especially targets Roma youth. The objectives of the project were to (1) promote the visibility of Roma youth active citizenship to combat hate speech, racism and xenophobia, in order to create opportunities of dialogue between young people, policy-makers and stakeholders; Promote and raise the visibility of the Roma Genocide by young Europeans; to (3) discuss the roles, responsibilities and opportunities of youth in addressing current challenges of racism, discrimination and antigypsyism in order to become agents of change; To build motivation, capacity, and empowerment of young people and youth organizations to engage in local, national and international youth work on issues of hate speech, human rights and combating antigypsyism; and (3) to raise the participation of young Roma in different programs of Erasmus+ strengthening their European citizenship, foreign language skills, intercultural competences and sense for initiative and entrepreneurship. The Documentation Centre and its partners have organized seminars on non-formal educational approaches for youth participation, campaigning and advocacy around International Roma Day (8th April) in Brussels (BE) since 2017 as well as to engage young people in a dialogue with politicians and policy-makers about the issues that concern them, in particular the current realities of antigypsyism. After the voice of Roma youth was only heard via video at the EU Roma Summit in Zagreb in the fall of 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to strengthen the active European citizenship and civic participation of Roma youth at the European level in person.
