🌱 Review: ‘Biodiversity’ capacity building workshop under #GRAINSproject 🌍  On 27 March we held the capacity building workshop for Social Economy SMEs in agrifood “Hands on: Biodiversity” - an inspiring exchange with experts, activists and interested parties from all over Europe.    💡 This is what we took home:    ✅ Biodiversity as a key topic - insights into current challenges and solutions.  ✅ Practical examples - case studies from Ukraine, Italy and Germany.  ✅ Funding opportunities - overview of EU funding models for sustainable agriculture.  ✅ Agroforestry as a solution - discussion on agroecological alternatives.  ✅ Next steps - paths to implementation and cooperation.    Did you miss? 📚 All documents for the capacity building session can be found here:  🔗 https://lnkd.in/ecyJTpqk   Thanks to all participants for the valuable exchange! 🌿✨

Alongside with our partners of ROMANSE project and representants of Civil Society Organisations (CSO's) working with Roma community from North Macedonia, we had the opportunity to take part of EU Roma week at the European Parliament.   During the sessions, the importance of including Roma history, culture and heritage in the mainstream curriculum path around Europe, was highlighted.   It is fundamental to have a stronger collaboration between EU institutions, its Member States, and CSO's in combating discrimination "antigypsyism" and segregation to ensure equal opportunities for everyone.    We want to express our gratitude for hosting this conference and for their invaluable contribution to the recognition of Roma rights within European institutions: Nicu Ștefănuță, Bjorn Berge, Ana Gallego Torres, Posłanka Katarzyna Kotula, Tomas Drucker, Mehmet Gürcan Daimagüler, Zeljko Jovanovic, Gabriela Hrabanova, eleni tsetsekou, Cristian Niculescu, Ciprian Necula, Mihaela Zatreanu, Isabela M., European Roma Grassroots Organisations (ERGO) Network and European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture.

✨ 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽! ✨ As part of the ROMANSE Project, we recently completed a series of capacity-building trainings across three cities in North Macedonia! 🎉   Over the course of three days, from March 25-27 in the cities of Štip, Prilep and Tetovo, our ROMANSE team worked alongside civil society organizations to strengthen their capacity in supporting Roma women entrepreneurs.   Through psychological support, motivation, and mentoring, we are creating a more inclusive and sustainable environment for social entrepreneurship. By investing in skills, confidence and opportunities, we are paving the way for Roma women to become changemakers in their communities.   This is just the beginning! 💡   👏 This was possible thanks to the work of our partners from Symplexis in Greece, #RomaResourceCenter and #WomensRightsInitiativeofShutoOrizari in North Macedonia. A massive thank you to all our trainers who are bringing their competence and expertise to this cause Ipek Usainova #AleksandarPetrusovski Suzana Trajkovska #SalijaLjatifPetrusovska Daniela Antonovska #AzizaSali
