About Roma Youth Together 

The seminar Roma Youth Together 2024 will bring together young people who are youth leaders and/or youth workers in Roma and Travellers communities and organisations across Europe. The seminar aims to empower Roma youth leaders across Europe to recognise their potential through positive actions. Its specific objectives are: 

- to share experiences and facts of Roma youth across Europe, especially in relation to significative youth participation;

- to empower Roma youth and Roma civil society to act as agents of change and multipliers in their communities;

- to support participants’ potential for expression of cultural identity and pride, action and visibility, both online and offline;

- to celebrate International Roma Day with Roma youth as front-runners in shaping it;

- to strengthen the sense of Roma youth community and connect with European youth organisations.

The seminar's methodology will be built on the ideas of human rights education, peer-to-peer learning, practice exchanges, and participant discourse through the use of interactive teaching techniques like working groups, creative workshops, and moderated debates.
