Antygypsism – Untold Stories

Introduction:


Roma rights are violated every day in Europe. Even if authorities acknowledge the socio-economic situation of Roma as a problematic issue, they are often denied their full rights as equal citizens, excluded from an active role in policy design and implementation, and approached in a patronizing manner. Such ‘applied anti-Gypsyism’ is the background to the unequal treatment of Roma – on the labour market, or in the provision of social services such as housing, healthcare and education.
The project develops participants skills and knowledge on active European citizenship around key values of the European Union, it strengthens civic and democratic participation of particularly Roma communities and it contributes to a new, just initiating policy making process on antigypsyism.
