A day to celebrate the rich culture, history and traditions of the Roma people! It was on this day that the closing conference of the pre-defined project "Together with Roma we will achieve more", supported by Norway grants and the state budget of the Slovak Republic under the program "Local Development and Inclusion", took place.

The aim of the project was:
