RomaVersitas provides academic services and support to Roma university students through a combination of tutoring, mentoring, extracurricular activities, and other opportunities for personal and educational growth. For participating Roma students, RomaVersitas forms an important bridge between university and labor market success, as well as a bridge to develop and express their Roma culture, identity and pride. The total number of supported beneficiaries in 2014 through this program in all countries was 490 Roma university students. This video was prepared by RomaVersitas Kosovo as a project of the Kosovo Agency for Advocacy and Development and enjoys financial support from the Roma Education Fund and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
