The House of National Minorities (HNM)

The House of National Minorities (HNM) is a Prague public benefit organisation which facilitates inter-ethnic understanding and overcoming of any prejudices that citizens might have regarding certain ethnic groups and nationalities.

The primary work involves activities of national minorities in Prague (Bulgarian, Belarusian, Croatian, Hungarian, German, Polish, Roma, Ruthenian, Russian, Greek, Slovak, Serbian, Ukrainian and Vietnamese). DNM regularly offers programmes for adults, for children and youth such as visits to the exhibitions of national minorities artists, viewing the films with topics of minorities, meetings and club evenings with representatives of national minority civic associations, selected cultural programmes produced in the House of National Minorities, conferences, meetings and seminars dealing with the issue of national minorities, cultural programmes for primary and secondary schools (theatrical performances, educational concerts, lectures, and screenings), language courses and the mediation of contacts and information.

The House of National Minorities is a unique institution in the Czech Republic and indeed even in Europe. It is not customary for the civic associations of national minorities and the editors of their magazine to be housed in the same place. Individual associations furthermore use for their educational, cultural and social activities shared spaces such as a gallery, community hall (cinema), meeting room, coffee shop and library.

The House is home to organizations representing a total of 11 national minorities: Slovak, Polish, German, Roma, Ruthenian, Ukrainian, Russian, Hungarian, Serbian, Bulgarian and Greek. In somewhat simplified terms, one could say that our House is a place where our minorities constitute a majority.

SERBIA

Educational Centre of Roma (ECR)

The civic association Educational Centre of Roma was founded in 2005 as a non-profit, nongovernmental and non-profit organization with a mission: “Inclusion of Roma in the local environment on the territory of the Republic of Serbia”. The term “inclusion” we understand as a series of complex activities aimed at achieving the conditions for equal participation of marginalized groups (such as the Roma) in society, through capacity building and their active involvement in social integration processes. Our vision is a society without prejudice, where the individual has a democratic right to participate in creating an environment that will provide equal opportunities for everyone. Through advocacy and mediation ECR acts towards the implementation of existing measures and proposes new measures for the advancement of the Roma community in the region. We promote all human rights and educate the environment to foster diversity as a top value. We are committed to “living with each other” and not “next to each other.” This is a necessary precondition for the Roma ethnic community (and all other marginalized communities) to be accepted and acknowledged as members who were able to, through activism, participate in creating an equal society. Within this process there always exists a segment of the personal responsibility to act.
