Nevo Parudimos Association implements the Erasmus+ project entitled Courage to change between 01/03/2023 – 30/04/2024 involving a number of 11 European partners.
With this project, our aim is to increase level of inclusion and participation of Roma youngsters in youth and nonformal activities. To do so, we have set the objectives below:

- Enhance the effective usage of “ 9 Steps Guide” in 11 Roma communities in 11 partner countries during 14 months
- Increase the capacity of 11 partner organizations on working with Roma young people during 14 months
- Share experiences and good practices to learn through peer-support for 33 participants during 14 months of project
The project will foster the quality improvements in youth work, enhancing international dimension of youth activities and the capacity of youth workers and organisations in their support for youth. Also, our project correlates with the objective of promoting non-formal and informal learning mobility and active participation among young people, as well as cooperation, quality, inclusion, creativity and innovation at the level of organisations in the field of youth. We will achieve this by helping the youth workers to develop different competences and become more efficient in their youth work by using adapted practical works gained through the “9 Steps Guide” when communicating and working with Roma youth.
Also, the project objectives are relevant to the EU Youth Strategy, particularly on providing more and equal opportunities for young people, especially for those with fewer opportunities, creating inclusive societies, quality learning and space and participation for all by supporting the competences of youth workers by putting their knowledge into practice.
