Focus groups with Roma children, youth, and parents were organized within the Building Future project to better understand barriers in accessing sports and gather recommendations for more inclusive opportunities ⚽🤝
Participants shared experiences related to discrimination, financial and cultural challenges, and limited access, while proposing solutions for more inclusive and accessible sports environments 🌍✨
Association of Roma Prokuplje (DRP) – Serbia, together with its partners Hate Fighters Network (HFN) – Srbija, ATDD – Romania, Educator – Czech Republic, Roma Informational Center (RIC) – Slovenija i Roma Entrepreneurship Development Initiative (REDI) – North Macedonia, implements project “Connecting Cultures, Building Future – Empowerment of Roma through Sport” in order to address discrimination and segregation of young Roma people in participating countries.

Activities will be organized in the period of 24 months (November 2025 – October 2027) in Serbia, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovenia and North Macedonia. Project co-financed by European Union.
