Civic & Social Organization - Budapest, Budapest, Hungary
Uccu Roma Informal Educational Foundation is a Hungarian Roma civil society organization. The main mission of Uccu is to combat prejudices and negative stereotypes related to Roma, so we can all live in a more tolerant and open society. The lack of acceptance often derives from the lack of knowledge about other cultures and people. In Hungary those who reflect anti-Gypsyist attitudes are typically those who know the least about the group they reject. Our Foundation provides an opportunity for primary and secondary school students from all over Hungary to meet and engage in a meaningful conversation with their young Roma peers. Community building among young Roma is also part of our mission. In the past 6 years UCCU established a strong volunteer community in Budapest, and in the recent years in Pécs and Miskolc cities. We find it invaluable to train and mobilize Roma youth, so they can tackle the problems themselves and act as role models for both Roma and non-Roma. The involvement and engagement of these young Roma, not only on volunteer level, but also at other levels of organizational work, including development and decision making, gives them the opportunity to train their skills and competences to become future leaders.
