EUROMA Cafeteria
Start date: Jan 10, 2015, End date: Oct 9, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Rural areas are full of Roma traditions, culture and rich nature which are not valued enough by Roma and non – Roma inhabitants who live there. Roma and non – Roma youth just leave from the villages, moving to big cities with hopes to have a better lifestyle there. They believe that they will be employed there easier and faster nevertheless, this will not happen easily with everyone. Meanwhile the villages become abandoned, lost their Roma culture and traditions, and Roma and non – Roma young people even don’t recognise what they lost. So one of the biggest tasks is nowadays for youth organisations to support rural youth, Roma and non – Roma young people have to fight for their cultural values of their villages, preserve and even renew the Roma traditions, protect the natural heritages and initiate small entrepreneurships to do that and through these, employ people in rural areas in the sake of better lifestyle and keep rural area as valued as possible. Youth workers, youth leaders from rural areas through youth organisations can give support them nevertheless, they have to have methods and tools how they can do that. This is the reason what we would like to run this training course. Share, explore, provide methods and tools for rural youth workers to recognise and make their cultural values and nature attractive for Roma and non – Roma young people and support them to renew it, start small entrepreneurship in youth sector and employ friends from rural areas. The overall aim of the training course is to train youth workers, youth leaders to support rural Roma youth on recognition of their cultural values as traditions and nature. To share youth work methods and tools for motivating and encouraging rural youth to use and renew their Roma traditions and nature for implementing new start ups, initiate small businesses in rural areas in order to fight against unemployment and abandoned villages.
