EPEKA, Soc. Ent. is a partner organisation of the Roma Genocide project funded by the Europe for Citizens Programme.

Project reference number: 2014 – 3605

More about the project: http://www.epeka.si/?p=915

One of the activities of the project is the youth training “Human library” or Living library, which will take place in Komanovo, Macedonia, from 22 to 28 May 2015, under the auspices of the coordinating organisation of the Roma Youth Centre.

It will bring together young people from:

  • Macedonia,
  • Croatia,
  • Italy,
  • Romania,
  • France,
  • Portugal
  • Slovenia

The main purpose of the training is to raise awareness among young people about the Roma Genocide and to create reflection and understanding of history through the Living Library method.

The working language of the exchange is English, but a poor knowledge of the language is not a barrier to participation, but an incentive for active communication and broadening of skills.

The costs of accommodation, meals and the programme are covered by the activity organiser or the host organisation. The portion of travel costs reimbursed per participant from Slovenia is determined according to the distance and amounts to EUR 120.
