La Voix des Rroms/The Voice of the Rroma works towards creating a just, creative and pluriversal* society, based on three core values: pugnacity, baxt (joy), and goodwill. We are a decolonial, antiracist organisation founded in the spring of 2005 by Rromani students from various countries. It is a mixed group in terms of gender, gender identity, class, religion, sexual orientation, and national origin. The board of directors and its membership are made up of a majority of Rroma.

Life Together works in the Czech town of Ostrava to strengthen mutual confidence and co-operation between the marginalised Roma and the majority Czechs, and improve the living standards of the Roma. A team of 55 Roma and Czech workers and volunteers offer a range of services from humanitarian aid, free educational programs, and social work to community work to strengthen the position of the Roma in the ghettos vis-à-vis local institutions.

The aim of the association is to reduce economic, social and educational disparities in society. It organises different activities for young people, as they are an essential factor of change in our society. Currently, the association conducts youth activities locally, regionally, nationally and internationally through seminars, training and volunteering opportunities. Our activities also include elements of formal education through strategic development aimed at preventing school dropouts among Roma youth.

The Association of Citizens for Promotion of Roma Education – OTAHARIN was formed in early 2005 by the parents of Roma students and citizens interested in the education of Roma in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our mission is to increase the level of educational, social and economic integration and inclusion of vulnerable and marginalised groups, through professional, dedicated and innovative work, recognisability and credibility.

Pavee Point is committed to the realisation of human rights for Irish Travellers and Roma living in Ireland. The organisation is a partnership of Travellers, Roma and others working together to address the needs of Travellers and Roma who experience exclusion, marginalisation and discrimination. Pavee Point has extensive experience in developing innovative and culturally appropriate responses to the needs of Travellers and Roma based on a community development approach and an intercultural model.

We are a think-tank founded in 2008 in Romania. We act towards solving social inclusion issues of Roma and other ethnic minorities and dream about a world where these issues no longer need an answer. We believe in the kindness of people and know that the solution to all our concerns lies in every community’s readiness to embrace this kindness. We are ready and prepared to help others prepare through sustainable educational programs that combat prejudice and negative attitudes.

The Regional Roma Educational Youth Association focuses on empowering and mobilising youth through creativity, training, and campaigns. Our vision for our youth is for them to become promoters of positive values and active agents in social happenings. Our mission focuses on promoting opportunities for personal development and integration, as well as fostering active citizenship and self-inclusion in the creation of youth policies for young Roma.

We are a group of Roma and non-Roma students and activists who create a space for youngsters to become active in society through empowerment, mobilisation and self-organisation. We advocate for Roma issues, conduct analysis and develop new methods and strategies to tackle the exclusion of Roma people in Albania and Europe.

Our primary activity focuses on enhancing community development among the Roma minority through an inclusive approach. This approach is based on mutually active co-operation between minority and majority populations. The most important area is education and the improvement of the social status of disadvantaged groups. We employ research methods to acquire relevant data, serving as support tools in public discourse.

RCC aims to change the view of the Roma community on integration into society. We support Roma in evaluating their situation and solving social and financial problems; to organise permanent employment and education for children and teenagers; to motivate Roma children, teenagers, and their families to pursue education, self-education, and self-improvement; to preserve and foster Roma traditions; and to prevent the Roma community from assimilation and marginalisation.
