Description
The All Together Project strengthens the voice of the local Roma community and its responsibility to address current issues in the ORP Tábor. The capacity of the Roma advisers employed by the city council is increased dramatically. Our aim is 2 full-time positions divided best between representatives of the Roma minority and the Czech majority. Thus, enough elbow room is given for a more consistent solution to areas related to the burning issues of the minority, such as education, unemployment, housing, social exclusion or juvenile delinquency. The advisors collaborate not only with various departments of the municipal authority but also with NGOs, school facilities, the city police, the state police and especially the Roma community itself. They actively participate in group meetings concerning minorities in the framework of community planning. They join the network of other Roma advisers led by a regional Roma coordinator. If such a network does not emerge, they will commit to its creation. They are adequately trained in topics such as social exclusion, legislation related to discrimination and minorities, and the history and culture of the Roma people. They are continuously trained in other topics depending on their previous experience, knowledge and skills. According to the need, they create analysis and make recommendations on particular issues of minority, which they promote within the ORP. They regularly inform the public about the Roma issues in the ORP in cooperation with the city''s press office. They involve various actors from the municipality and also from other institutions or NGOs and the Roma community itself in all analytical or implementation activities. They are supported by the municipality itself and by the partner of this project - Cheiron T - the NGO which has long been active in the field of Roma issues in the city.
