The Foundation implements programs in the following areas, in accordance with its strategy:

A.) Roma Integration Programs
Our goal is to promote Roma integration on local, regional and national levels. We would like to create cooperative structures in which Roma and non-Roma organizations, institutions can work together to solve problems and implement the integration of Roma. We want to focus on the development of Roma civil society that is strong, autonomous and prepared to cooperate with others within its own organization and outside as well.
B.)  Gender Equity Programs
Our goal is to contribute to the enrichment of gender equity in society, the enhanced role of women in public roles and in their professional life. We organize training programs and have developed a women’s network that is cooperating with already existing women’s organizations.
C.) Mediation

The three main activities are: (1) mediation as a service, (2) training mediators in different training programs, (3) support to the establishment of the legal framework of mediation.
