Project “Beat your prejudice!” is financed by the Embassy of the United States - Podgorica, through Democracy Commission Small Grants Program, and lasts from September 2016 to May 2017. Its aim is to raise awareness on necessity of reduction of discrimination, racism and persistent negative cultural prejudices against Roma by working with young citizens of Montenegro.

Through Forum Theatre plays in 3 high schools, 3 parliamentarian debates at different faculties and one street performance for the International Roma Day, Montenegrin teenagers and students will be engaged in an open debate on hot topics that will trigger their analytical potential. Project will target at least 300 young persons, 15- 25 years old, from 3 Montenegrin municipalities – Podgorica, Niksic and Herceg Novi.

We invite all interested parties to come and take participation in the second debate and give their contribution in breaking down the stereotypes surrounding Roma community.
