We are a European youth network, FERYP constituency currently covers 18 European countries, 20 youth NGO’s and more than 50 individuals.
that means that we are willing to sharing our realities, experiences and eager to learn from others.
We want to be an open network in the intercultural dialogue. The more people in it, the more “value” it has, so we want everyone to join. We cannot put up a pay barrier, if we want to build a society with values, understanding.
The only way to do this, is working closely together with Roma and non-Roma people in order to strength our capacities, empowering young people through active participation in the decision making-process and an active participation in the civil society.
