Project - NGO Life and Health
The problems identified in the project are discrimination, antigypsyism and segregation in accessing social rights by Roma youth and a lack of Roma activists on local and regional level to participate in the decision-making processes that affect their lives. The project aims at empowering young Roma in building network of activists promoting better access for disadvantaged youth to social rights. A network of 15 to 20 young people will be trained to address with other young people questions related to their access to employment, housing, education and health, and will develop local peer to peer initiatives with young people, mostly Roma, enhancing also their involvement in policy-making processes on the local level (as community plans, city councils etc).
