Abstract

Roma MATRIX (Mutual Action Targeting Racism,
Intolerance and Xenophobia) was a two year
project (2013-2015) co-funded by the European
Union’s Fundamental Rights and Citizenship
Programme. The project involved ten European
Member States (Bulgaria, Czech Republic,
Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania,
Slovakia, Spain, and United Kingdom - hereafter
referred to as the partner states). A total of 20
organisations were partners on the project
representing a diverse range of agencies including
non-government organisations (NGOs), Roma-led
organisations, local government, universities and
two private sector companies. A diverse programme of activities was undertaken which included network development, mentoring of people from Roma communities, conferences and workshops, capturing positive images and developing a public media campaign, etc. This work focused on four core areas which underpinned the Roma MATRIX project: Reporting and redress mechanisms for tackling anti-Gypsyism; Roma children in the care system; Employment; Cross-community relations and mediation. This summary report outlines the key research findings.
