ROMA-GEM (Roma Girls’ Empowerment through Mentorship), is an Erasmus+ cooperation project aiming to empower young Roma girls, one of the most disadvantaged groups in Europe, through inclusive and transformative approaches. The project supports young girls’s active participation in society through education, mentoring, and digital skills development.

The primary target group of the project is young Roma girls aged 14–25. Indirectly, the project also involves youth workers, educators, mentors, and civil society organizations who benefit from the project activities and outputs.

ROMA-GEM focuses on creating inclusive learning environments that foster the personal, social, and professional development of young Roma girls. The project addresses the double disadvantage resulting from both Roma identity and gender, by implementing structured mentoring models and capacity-building activities.

The project is coordinated by Spain (JoveSolides) and is implemented through a transnational partnership involving organizations from Greece (Liofyllo, Energoi Roma), Türkiye (ECO-IN), and Bulgaria (Kauzi).
