Giving Voice – Empowering Refugee Families and Fostering Social Dialogue for Ukraine

The objective is to promote social integration and strengthen self-advocacy skills of multiply disadvantaged Transcarpathian Roma refugee families in Csongrád-Csanád County, while reducing anti-Ukrainian disinformation.

The program provides complex support for 16 families (approx. 70 individuals). Indirect target groups include local communities, educators, social workers, and the online public.

Activities and methods: Implementation is conducted by a mobile professional team on the field. Our methodology relies on personalized mentoring (administration, educational integration, legal aid) and skill-development for children. This is complemented by an innovative media program: using YouTube and Facebook content, we strive to dismantle barriers and combat disinformation by highlighting real human stories.

Partnerships and utilization: We work with local municipalities and regional, national, and international organizations. Findings will be summarized in a methodological protocol, serving as a professional reference for other NGOs. By the end of the project, families will become self-sufficient, and the local community more inclusive. Our long-term goal is a sustainable integration model focusing on both direct assistance and social awareness-raising.

The educational gap faced by refugee children cannot be bridged within the framework of the public school system. There is a need for a non-segregated environment where trauma healing and skill development can take place simultaneously.
