At the begining of this year in March 2017, the artist George Vasilescu started to work at the “Project Who am I?”, funded by PAKIV European Roma Fund. The aim of this project is to facilitate the proces of selfreflection on the different identities that roma people have. The starting point was a movie, where Roma tell their opinion on Roma, and share their view over the perceptions of the majority population.

La data de 3 decembrie 2014, PAKIV Fondul European al Romilor, impreuna cu reprezentanți ai Fundației Centrul European și Trust pentru Fundația Socială Achievement, a vizitat comunitatea de romi din Kustendil, în scopul de a găsi soluții la problemele locale.
