Since practically our beginnings, we have participated in European competitive projects, in order to contribute to overcoming the triple exclusion suffered by Roma women (due to gender, ethnicity, and educational level).
The work carried out in some of the European projects we have coordinated has been recognised by the European Commission through different distinctions such as Gold Award Grundtvig, Success Story or Good Practice Example.
The Rtransform project was born from the first International Congress of Roma Women, held by our entity in 2010. We had more than 300 Roma women participating from all parts of Europe. We shared our experiences of the Roma Student Gatherings we have held in Catalunya, Spain, and their impact and all the incredible exchanges that were made during these gatherings.

Strategies for inclusion and social cohesion in Europe from education” Priority seven of the Sixth Framework Program of the European Commission (2006-2011).
On October 8, we held the final conference of the Roma Connect project at the Saló de Cent in Barcelona.
Two years ago, Roma women from Hungary, Greece, Romania, and Spain united to create a campaign featuring videos of real testimonies. These videos were shared on social media with the aim of reaching as many people as possible to raise awareness about the effects of anti-Gypsyism.
Roma Connect, is a European funded project, that bring together Roma women and girls from Greece, Romania, Hungary and Spain. The common goal is to create a campaign to combat antigypsyism and prevent discrimination and prejudices in Europe. Women in these four countries have created different videos explaining the struggles they are facing but also their accomplishments.
