Vojvodina <strong>Roma</strong> Center for Democracy<br />
We had a very open and creative<br />
meeting with Djordje Jovanovic,<br />
the president of Vojvodina <strong>Roma</strong><br />
Center for Democracy (Vojvodjanski<br />
Romski centar za Demokratiju). Vojvodina<br />
<strong>Roma</strong> Center for Democracy<br />
is an NGO, formed in May 2008, and is<br />
active in Belgrade, Valjevo and Vojvodina<br />
province, including the head-office<br />
in Novi Sad.<br />
Djordje Jovanovic and his organization<br />
are working mainly on projects that<br />
are targeting <strong>Roma</strong> children, pupils<br />
and students. One of such projects is<br />
»Empowering <strong>Roma</strong> students at the<br />
University of Novi Sad«. The aim of<br />
the project is to strengthen the ways<br />
of support for <strong>Roma</strong> students to pass<br />
more exams during the academic years<br />
and successfully complete their<br />
studies.<br />
Today there are more then 200 <strong>Roma</strong><br />
students at the University of Novi Sad.<br />
In 1994 there were only 4. So things<br />
ARE getting better, but there is still a<br />
lot more to be done.<br />
Djordje told us also about the daycare<br />
center for <strong>Roma</strong> children in Klisa<br />
(Novi Sad suburb with large <strong>Roma</strong><br />
population). The daycare center has<br />
become a real community center for<br />
children in the area. Children are gathering<br />
there to get help doing their school<br />
homework, to find a quite room<br />
to read and prepare school lessons, to<br />
get light and electricity (some of them<br />
doesn’t have the electricity at homes),<br />
but also to play, to get warmed on<br />
cold winter days, to get something to<br />
eat, and to meet friends. He invited us<br />
to visit the daycare center in Klisa.<br />
It was great talking with Djordje. We<br />
shared a lot of common ideas. We will<br />
surely met again and stay in touch for<br />
future projects! (Miško Stanišić)<br />

medijske slike o Romima, promocijom<br />
pozitivnih primjera iz zajednice,<br />
