Description

This project is needed because of the negative perception of the Roma population in our country and the difficulties of its integration on local and national level are common. Our objective is to promote and motivate young talents to show a positive example, to aid the development of verbal communication, to strengthen identity and community ties and to pass on the cultural heritage of the Roma. We hope that this project will help make the cultural situation of the local Roma population improve, as well as cultural values can be passed on and enriched. We will conduct music, language, dance and self-assessment workshops and music camps for the gifted. Our target groups are mainly those who are disadvantaged, young Roma from Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, those who live in poor social circumstances and are interested in the cultural heritage of the Roma, but also those non-Roma youth who are curious about Roma culture.
