The aim of the project is to highlight the needs, problems and potential of young people, in order to break the vicious cycle of delinquency and to highlight examples of young Roma who have managed to get educated and take up business. The achievement of the objective will be carried out through seminars/info session with different subjects: to choose the appropriate training, the search of work up to the procedures for setting up different businesses. A key point of the project is the fact that the briefings and outreach will be carried out by people from the community who have been successful educationally and entrepreneurially and will be an example to follow, while transferring know-how and experience.
