Czechs. Life Together carries out several grass-roots projects
in the Roma neighbourhoods in the town- including field social

for adult Roma (to complete secondary schooling and find
employment), Roma Community Centres (leisure activities for
children, youth and adults), confidence building projects
(to change police-Roma distrust, bring the police to provide
equal treatment to all victims of crime irrespective of their
ethnicity, to improve prison conditions), human rights work
(to end the segregated schooling Roma children, to obtain
apologies and compensation for the Roma women who are victims
of coercive sterilization, to bring an end to the excessive
removal of children from their parents to institutional care
for the sole reason of poverty, to stop the municipal deportations
of Roma families to other localities. This day-to-day contact
with the socially marginalised Roma is our primary competence
and asset that we bring to the project.

involved. It will also organise a Grundtvig course presenting
