Call for Mentors: “Back to School” Project
Roma Versitas Albania (RVA) is a non-profit organization whose main objective is to increase the number of Roma students who graduate and integrate into the labour market, as well as increasing the representation of Roma in decision-making institutions. A particular priority of RVA is the development of a core of Roma professionals, intellectuals and leaders who contribute to the social and economic development of the Roma community.
Within these objectives, RVA offers assistance and guidance to Roma students throughout their educational process, with the aim of fostering their independence and supporting them in their transformation into educated and active individuals in society. This will enable them to contribute to the development of the Roma community at local, national and international levels.
