As part of the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV) of the European Union, ERIAC is launching a new project: ERIACNET4EU: ERIAC NETWORK TO ADVANCE ROMA INCLUSION BY COMBATTING AND PREVENTING ANTIGYPSYISM IN THE EU.

The project aims at protecting, promoting and raising awareness of rights of Roma citizens of the EU and thereby at strengthening the EU values, in particular of equality, justice and non-discrimination and thus contributing to building a more democratic EU where all citizens can enjoy equal access and protection of their rights. ERIACNET4EU will offer the expertise, specific know-how and reliable methodologies to support the implementation of the new EU Roma framework by focusing on strategies and methodologies to prevent and combat antigypsyism.

On February 28 2022, at 15:00 CET, we are hosting an online public launching event of the project, envisaged as a space for reflection on confronting antigypsyism for a peaceful and sustainable Europe.
