The aim of the initiative was to reduce the rate of early school leaving among disadvantaged young people, the majority of whom were Roma. The project was based on methods tested in the foundation’s previous programmes, with a focus on mentoring and skills development. The programme took place in three towns in Hungary (Miskolc, Gyöngyös, Budapest), involving disadvantaged Roma and non-Roma secondary school pupils aged between 14 and 18.
The aim of our programme was to strengthen local youth communities and encourage cooperation between Roma and non-Roma young people. We implemented inclusive development programmes in six towns in Hungary and Romania, involving secondary school pupils aged 14–20. The young people created creative artistic content, which we turned into films as part of an awareness-raising campaign. We promoted these in the media with the help of influencers.
The main objective of the project was to foster a critical attitude among Roma citizens towards fake news and manipulative political messages affecting their communities. In all four participating countries – Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Spain – actions against disinformation focused on participatory methods, digital media literacy and community-based responses to disinformation.
The aim of the programme was to promote the rule of law, democracy and fundamental European values by supporting civil society organisations. To this end, we supported cohesive and active communities that used campaigns and initiatives to encourage civic participation, so that everyone in Hungary could enjoy the rights to which they are entitled, play a part in shaping their own lives, and have a say in our shared affairs.

However, if we try to make an impact […]
