RROMA have some wonderful news .... we got approved for a grant to start a Roma girls empowerment campaign and today the contract was signed.
Our project is called "ROMA-lution - Our way of empowerment!". The project aims to develop the capacities of 20 young Roma girls from Probistip, Veles, Kocani, Stip and Berovo by providing them training in the field of new media, creative action research and conducting questionnaires on topics such as early marriages and the importance of education for change. Having conducted a research in the five communities about the aforementioned topics, the group of Roma girls will produce a short film about issues of education and early marriages, which will be presented to the public in order to stir a public debate.
The Project begins on the 1-st of December 2010 and will end on the 31-st of August 2011.
We will keep you informed about the happenings that follows.
