Roma Education Champions Celebrated Across the Region

The 2025 EU Award for Roma Integration recognized individuals and organizations making a lasting impact through education and leadership in Roma communities.

Among those honored was Doan Sulejmanoski, who mentors Roma youth across the region in civic engagement and media literacy. Senada Sali, a Roma lawyer from North Macedonia, was also awarded for her legal advocacy against school segregation.

Serbia’s Centre for Youth Integration was praised for its continued work with street-involved children, helping them access education and job skills. These initiatives demonstrate that when education and leadership development are tailored to community needs, real systemic change becomes possible.
