Inclusion of Young Roma into the Youth in Action Programme

In the training course on November 6 to 9, 2012 in Murska Sobota, Slovenia, participants will have an opportunity to learn about the Youth in Action programme and good practise examples of international / Youth in Action projects involving Roma youth. The training course will cover the basics related to a project cycle and (international) project management, reinforce the motivation for the organisations to do international projects and prepare participants to face the intercultural elements and possible challenges related to international Roma youth projects. Field trip to local Roma settlements will provide an insight into a local Roma organization “Roma academic club” and their good practices of integrating young Roma into the society. Participants will also have the opportunity to share good practises and to discuss issues of their interest.
