In 2001 the Roma Youth Association founded the first national roma youth council in Sweden. The roma youth councils purpose is to work with ideas and proposals that comes from the roma youths. The idea is that every major city in Sweden will have a representative in the roma youth council so that the roma youths can have a direct contact with their representative. The council is open for all roma youths and the council also plans to hold meetings in several cities to spread information about the council and also give the roma youths of Sweden a opportunity to present their own ideas or proposals for a better situation for the roma youths. The council has it´s own board of directors with a chairman , a secretary and so on and at the last meeting in January 26th 2002 the council decided to make this website. The roma youth council also has it´s own chat were even the public is welcome to present ideas that the council can work with. The council creates a working material of the ideas sent in to the council and presents them to the board of directors of the Roma Youth Association. The board then contacts the authorities and tries to make a reality of the ideas. Do you have an own idea that you think can make a difference? Contact us!Kontakta oss!
