We are thrilled to announce that on October 21, a highly impactful training workshop took place in Bulgaria, bringing together 20 dedicated Roma informal carers. Over the course of the workshop, participants developed essential caregiving skills and received training on self-care and navigating local healthcare services.
In a supportive and collaborative environment, attendees engaged in practical sessions designed to address the unique challenges faced by informal Roma carers.

On November 12th, 25th, and 28th, 2024, workshops were conducted in Brno and Břeclav, Czech Republic, as part of the Roma.Care project. These workshops brought together informal Roma carers, creating an interactive and supportive learning environment aimed at empowering participants in their caregiving roles.
The workshops focused on a variety of crucial topics, including self-identification as a carer, cultural sensitivity, caregiving skills, and self-care practices. Each session was attended by at least ten informal Roma carers, who actively participated in discussions, asked insightful questions, and engaged in group activities.
The sessions began with introductions and an overview of the objectives, followed by interactive presentations and practical exercises based on the project’s training modules. Participants explored the challenges and opportunities in caregiving, shared their personal experiences, and discussed strategies to improve their caregiving journey.
The workshops concluded with positive feedback from participants, who appreciated the relevance of the topics and the opportunity to connect with others in similar caregiving roles. These sessions mark an important step forward in supporting informal carers and promoting inclusive caregiving practices within Roma communities.
The successful implementation of these workshops demonstrated the commitment of the Roma.Care project to empowering informal Roma carers and enhancing the quality of care they provide.
