The project activities include:

2)    organizing workshops in informal settlements
3)    sensitizing local and national stakeholders
4)    strategic litigation challenging discrimination
5)    evaluation in progress in the process of social inclusion

The first implementation year ended on 30 November 2011.  During that period, Praxis’ cooperating partner was the Roma Educational Centre from Subotica.
