Qualitative Info

There are a number of positive initiatives designed to solve problems of discrimination, racism or xenophobia. They are carried out by non-governmental organizations dealing with assistance for refugees and foreigners, as well as non-discrimination issues, and also by organizations associating minorities. Such activities usually consist of exploring other cultures in various ways. In schools, where there is a greater number of children of different ethnic origin than the majority, projects are carried out concerning these students / their cultures (these are most often Roma and Chechen refugees). Such activities are financially supported by public entities, European Commission and public donors.

A number of measures to combat discrimination are carried out within the educational component of the government Programme for the Roma Community. In these cases, the implementers of such projects are schools, governments and social organizations.
