About
This example is about young people sharing stories and perceptions of their life experiences through an interactive multimedia platform. The project gives opportunity for participation by acting as a reporting point for highlighting issues and a resource for promoting a positive image of Roma. This example shows how the act of sharing and having access to listen to / read other young people’s stories acts as a catalyst for participation. It also projects a positive image of Roma and offers tools for cultural exchange, equality of opportunity and fun. The young people who engage in the project experience self-determination over their own lives as well as finding ways and opportunities to participate in their own communities
