Project Summary
The project achieved transnational added value as the partners improved their understanding of the way in which young Roma live and their specific characteristics in drug use through joint research. Among young Roma, through workshops to strengthen life skills, we have strengthened awareness of healthy lifestyles, informed them about prevention and addiction treatment, and motivated them to actively engage in various activities. In the project, the partners produced a manual for professionals who are meeting the Roma population on drugs and addiction in their work.
