REACT - Make Europe an equal place for Roma
No awareness – no progress. To tackle the social exclusion Europe’s largest minority requires an understanding of the problems Roma face and the dedication to solve them. And it requires both a sense of urgency to act and a perspective of concrete opportunities for progress. Roma and non-Roma share the responsibility to create this awareness and translate it into results.
With this campaign, ERGO Network and its members reach out to citizens – Roma and non-Roma – media and governments to commit to making Europe an equal place for Roma.

Time to react!
The campaign starts from the belief that Roma and non-Roma should share the responsibility as citizens to ensure all have an equal place in society. “REACT” also wants to convey that governments need to take their responsibility to ensure all citizens enjoy equal opportunities. And we want to make clear that we need and open and transparent attitude towards the problems our societies face and the approaches we adopt to tackle them.
REACT is supported by the EU and comprises a distinct set of campaign activities and strategies for Romania, Bulgaria, Italy and Albania. All aim to raise awareness on Roma exclusion and anti-gypyism, to boost the visibility of Roma as citizens of their countries and encourage administrations - at local and national level - to take action to address Roma exclusion.
