According to FRA participation is one of the European Union’s “10 Common Basic Principles on Roma Inclusion”. Towards this direction, the EU strategic framework of 2020-2030 emphasizes that the three pillars approach (i.e equality, inclusion and participation) can support the active citizenship of Roma communities, as well as can enhance their democratic participation in their countries. Nevertheless, when looking at EU-MIDIS I survey results most Roma adult respondents (82 %) are not aware of any such organisation in their country of residence. Based on the above, RESTORE project underlines the need of fostering civic engagement of Roma adults in their local communities, bringing them closer to EU values and ideas of union and diversity. More specifically, the project tries to follow the 3 pillars approach, as it was introduced in the EU strategic framework of 2020 -2030 for Roma, by: • Informing them on their rights towards the implementation of the inclusive dimension; • Providing them sustainable and upskilling pathways through a holistic training programme on civic engagement towards the application of the equality dimension; • Motivating them to participate in their democratic life of their own country of residence
