Roda Academy

Roda Dialogue Network aims to share the knowledge of network stakeholder NGOs and activists who defend the rights-oriented demands of communities such as Roma and other segregated groups, develop creative ideas, strengthen leadership skills and increase their motivation as activists. While the Academy attaches importance to gender equality, it follows the methodology of participatory leadership and includes the participants in the training process.
