no recognition-no progress

• NO DATA-NO PROGRESS (no ethnic census, no forced collection of data, inclusion and reliable statistical data)

• DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL/LOCAL STRATEGIES BASED ON NATIONAL STRATEGY (NATIONAL ACTION PLAN: inclusive approach at a territorial 

level of governance)

• Cooperation with and between independent bodies and NGOs and fostering Roma/Sinti associations : GREAT PROBLEMS IN INVOLVING ROMA (especially non Italian) IN REDUPRE WORKSHOPS AND ACTIVITIES (even surveys): fighting distrust=building a net of associations, foster active citizenship!!!
