We can do more Together!
Romano Museum
An initiative that helps preserve, promote and develop Roma culture.
In the absence of a physical museum, I considered it very important to create a virtual museum of Roma culture, which can be visited both by Roma and non-Roma from Romania, as well as by Roma and non-Roma from any corner of the planet, a fact that makes it, the little by the degree of accessibility, even more important than a physical museum.
The Virtual Museum of Roma Culture was created within the project "We can do more Together!".
About the project
The "Together" Agency Foundation with its partners, the National Center for Roma Culture - Romano Kher, the "Amare Rromentza" Roma Center Association, the Botoșani Marginalized Communities Association, the Făgăraș Roma Association, the DANROM Făurei Association, the "Buzău Community Development Agency" Association , the Ursari Roma Association from Dagâța, implements the project "We can do more Together", during the period 01.01.2021-28.02.2023.
This project aims to support the empowerment of 2200 Roma nationally, using a bottom-up approach, where Roma citizens are at the center, learning to actively contribute to solving community problems and making themselves heard their voice. The approach of this project is innovative, changing the social perspective frequently used in public policies and the media portrayal of the group from an ethnic perspective of the Roma as a resource for Romania's development.
