Registration for the workshop “Building capacity for Roma inclusion at local level” is now open.

Roma inclusion is an EU priority translated into national strategies but in many municipalities the lack of political will and administrative capacity hinders progress in improving the living conditions of Roma.

In this workshop Bulgarian and Romanian Mayors and experts will explain how they overcame these barriers with the support of the ROMACT programme. They will tell how they learned to work together with local Roma to design, fund and implement policies that are inclusive of all. They will highlight how they successfully combined local resources with national and EU funding. Local Roma citizens will also bring testimonies.
