Roma civic society in Serbia today
 

 

Objective:

- Promoting the work and results of the factors of the Roma civic society in media;

-Help the factors of the Roma civil society* in acquiring better visibility and presence in the public life.

Nowadays there are over 200 Roma NGOs in Serbia . Beside the NGOs, there is a great deal of successful Roma individuals. A presentation of work of the successful individuals and organizations is very important for the Roma people and the Roma movement as a whole in Serbia . They could, by making their work public, contribute to changing the attitudes and prejudice against the Roma. If, during a longer period of time, the pictures were shown in media, the attitude of the other nations toward Roma would be moved in the direction of lowering stereotypes for sure, and in time in the direction of lowering prejudice and discrimination.

With the aim of promoting the work of the factors of the Roma civil society from Serbia , 7 broadcasts on local televisions, and on all televisions that show their interest for broadcasting in the cities of the interviewed individuals.

By programs about successful Roma as well as the Roma organizations, we would help many of them to come out from >invisibility< and come into the world of promoting the Roma culture and values of the Roma.
