Campaigning
ERGO Network coordinates and supports campaigns that are led by Roma activists on local and national level, focusing on combatting antigypsyism and asking for better social inclusion of Roma in Europe. ERGO Network makes sure that the campaigns have an international dimension and that the results are fed into the policy process at EU level.
Key Activities
Wall-Free Europe
More than 25 years after the fall of the Berlin wall, there are still walls of concrete and walls in people’s minds that segregate Roma citizens from their non-Roma neighbours across Europe. Therefore ERGO Network’s Wall-Free Europe campaign asks for the removal of physical and mental walls between Roma and Non-Roma.
Most Roma-friendly mayor
The campaign honours mayors on the Western Balkans and in Turkey who are strongly engaged for Roma inclusion in their local communities and can be good examples for other municipalities.
Roma youth employment
Investing in employment for young Roma is fair and just, but also a smart economic choice: It is an effective way to improve growth prospects and respond to the demographic challenge of rapidly ageing populations in EU Member States. Investing in young Roma breaks the cycle of poverty, discrimination and exclusion. ERGO advocates for more and better investment in employment opportunities for young Roma.
