The project objective is to support informal Roma carers, a group at a high risk of discrimination and stigmatisation, and to contribute to their more effective social inclusion.Roma carers in common with carers more generally, work tirelessly in support of those they care for, often without recognition and to the detriment of their own health and well-being.The project will provide them with skills and resources necessary for effective caring and self-care, fostering inclusive caring landscape.

The project activities include: • Creating a culturally inclusive training curriculum tailored for Roma carers. • Organising workshops in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic to deliver the curriculum to Roma carers. • Developing a practical e-Handbook to complement the curriculum for reference and guidance. • Disseminating project results to the broader Roma community and the general public to build understanding and support for Roma carers.

• Culturally Inclusive Training Curriculum tailored to the specific needs of Roma carers. • At least 20 Roma carers from Bulgaria and the Czech Republic equipped with improved caring and self-care skills, enhancing their competence and well-being. • A practical e-Handbook, providing a valuable resource for reference and guidance to support carers. • Dissemination of Project Outcomes to the broader Roma community and the general public to foster understanding and support for Roma carers.
