Roma advocacy and research centre
Skalica · Slovakia
The most important area is the education of the new generation and the improvement of the social status of disadvantaged groups. In the work, the team applies research methods, mainly qualitative, through which it obtains relevant data as supporting tools in public discourse. Objectives of the Roma advocacy and research are: to develop activities which promote inclusive society; to promote tolerance, diversity, and equal chances in the society; to bring facts about Roma and prevent prejudices and stereotypes; to give a voice to all groups, especially young Roma; to help Roma communities to develop their own competences and abilities to solve problems; to develop professional, social, cultural, economic activities and civic commitment. Our activities are focused on influencing the community development of the Roma minority through an inclusive approach. This approach is based on mutual active cooperation between the minority and the majority population.
