Youth action

On December 5th-6th, 2011, ternYpe participated in the “Expert meeting on Roma Youth in South East Europe” organized by SALTO South East Europe Resource Centre in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The meeting brought representatives of Roma and non-Roma organisations working with young Roma and a group of experienced youth workers and trainers together in order to initiate a dialogue on how to strengthen Roma youth activism and participation in international youth projects and in the Youth in Action Programme in particular. Within the Youth in Action Programme the participation of young Roma has recently become a high priority, which is a fact that all stakeholders have to take into consideration. SALTO SEE (hosted by the Slovenian National Agency) and SALTO Cultural Diversity (hosted by the UK National Agency-British Council) will take the lead in the process to reach out to more Roma organizations.

"The world is not Black and White''is the title of the song of our campaign "Thank you Mr. Mayor! -Local partnership for Roma inclusion', a campaign supported from European Commission and organized by Roma Active Albania. Within few days the song received over 30.000 clicks on youtube! The song was produced by Dr. Flori, one of the most famous Albanian singers currently, together with 3 other young talented Roma singers. As you can see in the video clip, even the youth group of Roma Active Albania is involved.

Once again in this year's Football Championship the selection of ternYpe General Assembly showed its strength and endless energy. Although also the team of the ternYpe Campaign Working Group tried to demonstrate its dedication and proactive spirit, the team had to accept the 9: 3 victory of the General Assembly with its strong defense and strikers!
