On the 1 October 2014 the European Commission had for the first time given awards for Roma integration to civil society organisations from Western Balkans and Turkey. The awards honoured the contribution and the valuable work of civil society in supporting social inclusion of Roma people. The seven winning organisations, announced during a ceremony in Brussels, had all shown comprehensive and innovative approaches. The winners were chosen from 21 short listed organisations, mostly working at grass-root level and either Roma-led or having Roma staff members. The selected projects covered diverse areas: from education and children's or women's rights, to housing, employment and health. |
