The project "Developing the Roma Civil Society Together“ fully corresponds with the aims of the Human Rights programme - it focuses on integration and strengthening the position of Roma people in the Czech society. The project focuses on connecting relevant players in the field of Roma integration in Prague. Reach of the project is the whole Czech Republic thanks to the promotional activities.
Applying organization is a NNO RomPraha. Partners are: 8 NNOs from Prague and Prague 7 City District. Partner NNOs are smaller ones, but their importance in Roma integration cannot be considered small. These NNO work with Romany people from all Prague Districts. Romany people have confidence in them that they can make a change. Partner Prague 7 City District is known as an active one in the field of Roma integration.
The aim of the project is participation on developing the Roma civil society according to the Strategy of Roma Integration. Project creates a platform whose members will participate on developing the Roma civil society. They will also support dialogue among organizations working with Romany people, public administration and other subjects connected with integration and strengthening the position of Roma people in Prague. Platform will issue 6 recommendations in order to make local integration politics and practice more effective.
The project systematically supports building of Roma civil society. Project combines following activities with the activity of the platform:
- Discussions over successes of Roma people, that will help to create a better image of Roma people
- a Workshop Toolkit will be created for public servants who work with Roma minority to deepen their knowledge of the Roma people. A workshop trial run will be realized according to the Workshop Toolkit.
We consider the project as very important one for fighting discrimination and developing cooperation of Roma civil society with all the relevant players.
