24-11-16 Roma “Workshop on Political Participation and Strategic Planning” to be held 18-20 December
With the support of the Council of Europe, a three day workshop-seminar, entitled “Workshop on Political Participation and Strategic Planning”, is being organised between 18-20 December in Strasbgourg.
The open invitation is directed at young Roma who are active in Roma Youth organisations, or in organisations that develop initiatives and activities for the Roma community, aiming at empowering and developing dialogue between Roma youth, so as to allow them to participate in local and national political life. The seminar is part of the project: Action Plan for Roma Youth of the Council of Europe Action Plan.
The COE website describes the Roma Action Plan thusly: “The Roma Youth Action Plan gives priority to human rights and intercultural dialogue as responses to discrimination and anti-gypsyism, together with the development and capacity building of Roma youth organisations and movements. Training and capacity building has, thus, an important role in the Roma Youth Action Plan, not only because of what individual Roma youth leaders may learn and develop individually, but also and especially by what they will experience and do together.
The organisers cover entirely the room and board costs.
More information and an application is available at the below website and document link.
