Final conference of the project Beat your prejudice that the NGO Young Roma implemented in cooperation with the Debate Club of the Faculty of Political Sciences ,, Agora ", was successfully organized in the premises of Premier congress center. The project was supported by the Embassy of the United States through the Small Grants Program of the Commission for Democracy.

The conference aimed to introduce the audience with the goals and implemented activities within the project which was implemented since 1 September 2016. During the conference, participants had the opportunity to watch a short documentary film recorded during the project implementation.

Through the presentation of results of the project we highlighted the importance of the actualization of the problem of discrimination with regard to Roma and Egyptians in Montenegro, as well as the importance of the positive initiatives of young people in Montenegro who see the solution to the problem through the dialogue, co-existence and life-long learning, improving skills and forming positive attitudes.

The aforementioned event brought together representatives of state authorities, civil society organizations, international organizations and the media, who gave high-quality comments and recommendations which contributed to discussion and once again emphasized the importance of continuous work on combating prejudice and discrimination against Roma and Egyptian population.
