European Platform for Roma Inclusion 2017
The European Platform for Roma Inclusion is an important forum for concerted actions of all relevant stakeholders for the economic and social integration of Roma people in Europe. The Platform contributes to making both European and national policies more sensitive to Roma needs.
The 2017 European Platform for Roma Inclusion will focus on transition of Roma youth from education to employment. Given the complexity of the issue, the discussions at the next Platform will take place in two thematic workshops to be held on 27th November.
The first workshop will relate to the topic focusing more on education perspective, while the second workshop will more focus on the topic from employment perspective.
The outcomes/suggestions of the workshops will be presented to decision makers next day (on 28th November) when the political debate will take place.
The Forum will be attended by the representatives of Lithuania:
Gražina Sluško – Department of National Minorities under the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, Relation with ethnically communities chief specialist.
Svetlana Novopolskaja – director of “Romų visuomenės centras”.
Diana Rušėnaitė – project manager of “Europos socialinio fondo agentūros”.
