Serbia
Who we are, what we stand for — and why we believe that the voices of young Roma in Europe must finally be heard.
Dobar Dan!
Roma youth, leading the way
Serbia is home to one of Europe’s largest Roma communities, with a population between 250,000 and 600,000. Despite this, young Roma frequently face barriers to education, housing, and public life. Our mission is to bridge this gap and create the necessary space for their voices to be heard and acted upon.
