Description

Prague 3 Municipality presents a project entitled "Support of the Roma Minority in the Prague 3 Municipality". As part of the project, we will establish a new full-time Roma counselor at the Municipality Office. The counselor will make a significant contribution to the integration of the Roma community in the area where the Roma minority is the largest national minority. He will also act as a mediator between the Roma minority and the majority society.

We will implement the project in cooperation with two partners from the ranks of Czech pro-Roma non-profit organizations - R-Mosty and Slovo 21. We will implement the project for 32 months - from September 1, 2021 to April 30, 2024. The Roma counselor will continue to be employed at the Municipal Office for min. 2 years after the end of the project.

Within the project we will implement a total of five key activities:
1) Establishment of a job of a Roma counselor and its activities
2) Networking of a Roma counselor with relevant persons and organizations, implementation of workshops and cultural and social events
3) Work placements abroad and in the Czech Republic
4) Publicity of the project
5) Project management.

The target groups are the following:
- Roma 
- Civil society organizations: R-Mosty, Slovo 21 participating in the implementation of the project in the role of partner organizations and other organizations. 

Our goal is to strengthen the inclusion and position of Roma by strengthening the capacity of Roma counselors in order to ensure tasks that facilitate the exercise of the rights of members of the Roma minority and the integration of members of the Roma community into society, including their education. We will achieve the purpose of the project by filling the position of Roma counselor, networking with other stakeholders and completing study tours in Norway and Slovakia, as well as internships in partner organizations.
