Roma and Gypsies
In early 2002, Teresa Crawford, AP’s former Technical Director, started a project with the Open Society Institute to train six Roma technical consultants from Macedonia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Bulgaria and Hungry. Once trained as eRiders, by the Roma Information Project, the six fanned out into their countries and trained Roma advocates in the use of ICT.
In the following pages, find a history of the eRider project, profiles of five of the eRiders, as well as personal accounts and reports written about their work.
The Advocacy Project has been sending Peace Fellows to the Dzeno Association in Prague since 2003. Each regularly reported on their work in their blogs.
