The aim of the project "Dorra Nuova" is to strengthen the employability of Romani women in Herceg Novi through the provision of space and materials for handcrafting and selling unique jewelery.

Starting from the  fact that nearly 90% of RE population is unemployed, and given women are in a particularly difficult situation because of exposure to double discrimination, this project aims to support the process of strengthening employability of the most hardly employable category of persons.

The target group of this project are: 10 Romani women from Herceg Novi that will be directly involved in project activities, then the local Roma community in Herceg Novi, Roma living in Montenegro and all other citizens and visitors of Herceg Novi.

The main activities foreseen by the project are: registration of art and craft workshop Dorra Nuova, procurement of materials for jewelry making, production and sales of jewelry at fairs and training for new participants on  jewelry making. The project will be implemented in Herceg Novi for a period of 7 months.

The project is supported by the Ministry of Finance of Montenegro through the Commission for the allocation of revenue from games of chance.
