In 2012, the Eurodiaconia Roma Network carried out its first survey of members’ projects in the field of Roma inclusion. The purpose of this survey was to gain a better overview of the types of activities our members are involved in, and to enable our members to exchange project details and contact information across national borders. The results of the mapping exercise proved to be a valuable foundation for networking and mutual learning.
Three years onwards, Eurodiaconia members have developed and implemented a broad variety of new projects, aimed at supporting Roma in different national contexts in fields such as education, employment, political empowerment and health. For this reason, Eurodiaconia has decided to update its report in 2015. It can be accessed here.
We hope that the mapping document will serve as a useful tool for those looking for ideas to develop new projects, for those looking for projects partners, or generally those interested in learning more about the broad range of projects and services offered by diaconal actors across Europe.
