GET KNOW THE 21ST CENTURY ROMA
In the period from 01/01/2017 to 01/12/2017, ROMA CULTURE CENTRE implemented the project "Get to Know the 21st Century Roma" co-funded by Nordic Council of Ministers’ Grant Programme for Nordic-Baltic Non-Governmental Organisations’
Through this project we aimed to foster fundamental values of the European Union: peace, freedom,democracy and respect for the benefit of the roma people, to raise their self-esteem. For building the future of better Union it is essential to provide an opportunity for different social groups (especially young people of different nationalities including roma) to receive information on Roma history, culture and traditions, as well as to engage in active discussions about human rights and discrimination prevention, equality and to learn more about possible solutions on employment, looking at the situation of Roma in Latvia. The project provided activities witch were focused on general public especially young people and on human rights and intercultural dialogue threads, educating the Roma history, traditions and Samudaripen (Roma Holocaust), raising the question in Latvian context and popularization of Roma history remembrance among the young generation.
