- Human rights
Non-governmental organization SLOVO 21 realizes educational, cultural, media, public awareness and other projects, especially Roma projects and project aiming on integrations of immigrants. Through our projects we want to combat racism and xenophobia and as very effective tools we use presentation of minorities through culture and positive values or support of personal relationships. Our leading goals are: to protect and professionally present cultural heritage, to promote human rights and to encourage tolerance towards ethnic minorities. We cooperate with organizations from the Czech Republic and abroad. The diversity is one of the crucial topics for us as we believe that combination of different traditions, cultures and nations within the Europe can be very enriching and contributing.
Most important projects are:
The World Roma festival KHAMORO – realized since 1999 once a year during the last week of May, offers concerts of traditional Roma music and Gypsy jazz, international seminars, exhibitions, film screenings, dance workshops etc.
Family Next Door – realized since 2004, innovative integration of immigrants into major society through informal meeting of Czech and immigrant’s families directly in their homes, till today we involved 766 families coming from 26 countries.
