The media component implemented by ActiveWatch aims at informing the potentia beneficiaries about the program and combats discrimination and the stereotypes about the access of Roma to prestigious qulifications

2014 - 2015

ActiveWatch has developed two videos presenting the program. One presents a part of our best students and the other presents the history of RHSP

2011 - 2013

The antidiscrimination campaign implemented by Activewatch aims to tear down the prejudice relating to Roma minority and to their capacity of holding high qualification positions and to bring prestige and reputation to roma professionals. Campaign evolves from the first stage where it presents a mirror of the mainstream’ s stereotypes of Roma people, to the final stage where Roma’s success is brought forth. We wish to discuss the stereotypization of Roma minorities as well as the examples and the successful stories. Thus we will encourage the majority to become ware of the “invisible Roma”, the ones who belong to Roma minority and who are successful in their careers and who are active in the Romanian society.
