Goals and Mission - how we help

• Support and promote cultural values in today's society, education and individual self-realization.
• Clarify roles in the society thus helping the diverse minority and majority groups to understand each other better.
• Reduce the number of Roma emigrating to Western Europe due to racially motivated assaults and mutual misapprehension.
• Prevent problems Roma youth face by creating suitable conditions for talented Roma adolescents for their self-realization (in music, dance and traditions).
• Hold summer camps under professional supervision for Roma children from socially disadvantaged Roma families and homes who suffer from neurotical problems and inner trauma developed in early childhood.
• Help to create an open multicultural society and prevent ethnic conflicts.
• Present the culture and traditions of contemporary ethnicities.
• Support collaborative projects between different ethicities, nations and the majority.
• Present Roma culture to the Czech general public, break prejudices, help the Roma emerge from isolation, help them to open themselves to the world around them and find new hope for a peaceful co-existence.
• Support education, creativity and personal growth of talented artists, provide material and spiritual space for their work, the opportunity to confront and debate the work of artists from different countries and cultures and and give them the opportunity to present their work.

• Insufficient space for personal development for those who show interest.
• Educate the general public about the Roma issue.
