In the period from 24th to 26th June 2023 the Center for Roma Initiatives has started the implementation of peer workshops for young people from Podgorica in which 141 young people from the Roma and Egyptian community aged 12 to 20 took part.
The workshops were led by 6 peer educators with mentor support while the participants, who were divided into 8 groups, improved their knowledge about social norms, gender-based violence, human rights and labeling in society in an interactive way.
Workshops for young people from Nikšić and Berane will be continued from September.
The workshops were implemented within the project: “Promotion of human rights within the Roma and Egyptian community”, which is implemented by the Center for Roma Initiatives and is supported through the program “CSOs in Montenegro – from basic services to policy formulation – M’BASE” implemented by the Center for Civic Education (CGO), Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), the Center for Protection and Study of Birds of Montenegro (CZIP) and Politikon network. The project is financed by the European Union and co-financed by the Ministry of Public Administration.
