The European Commission is calling for projects on non-discrimination and Roma integration which could be particularly interesting for the Salvation Army’s work with Roma across Europe.  The call will aim to co-fund national or transnational projects which:

• Fighting against discrimination of Roma through: activities aiming to raise awareness and combat harmful stereotypes of Roma and thereby supporting their integration into mainstream society; identify and exchange good practices in fighting discrimination against Roma and antigypsyism, in particular in education and housing and promoting the empowerment of Roma (youth and women) as well as their active involvement in the process of Roma integration.
• Raising awareness about intergenerational solidarity and non-discrimination on the basis of age (in particular of young people).

Activities that could be covered by the grant include:

• data collection and survey; monitoring the implementation of non-discrimination legislation;
• training of professionals;
• mutual learning, exchange of good practices, cooperation, including identifying best practices which may be transferable to other participating countries;
• Dissemination and awareness raising activities (including at local level), such as seminars, conferences, campaigns or social media and press activities.
