Alumni Roma Project Launches
Halfway through the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015, countless Roma in the Balkans remain trapped in a cycle of poor education, unemployment and extreme poverty.
Fellowship alumni have come together to report on the key issues in a special project.

About
About Us
In 2007, the Robert Bosch Stiftung and ERSTE Foundation initiated the fellowship programme, in cooperation with the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, to foster quality reporting, initiate regional networking among journalists and advance balanced coverage on topics that are central to the region as well as to the EU
What is the Fellowship?
Journalists in the Balkans must now report on complex reform issues with regional and European dimensions. The fellowship provides editorial guidance, training and adequate funding to do so.
