RPOINT is a non-profit organization, founded and registered in the UK in 2006. We mainly work in Serbia with the Roma children and young people, by designing and implementing educational and artistic programmes. Our vision is that the young Roma further their education so that they get better access to mainstream jobs. By giving a voice to the Roma, RPOINT shows commitment to presenting a positive image of Roma youth today.
We maintain a small office and employ three full time paid staff. At the moment we have 35 permanent associates, who work either as volunteers or as freelancers. These include teachers, musicians, DJ’s, choreographers, photographers, cameramen, lawyers, project manager, doctors, IT specialists, web designers, PR, video film maker and editor, and accountants.
To see videos of our work please see our Youtube site here.

I have long been interested in the Roma people and this week heard about your R-Point and I am amazed by GRUBB! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAs a artist and a Youth Care Worker for many years with troubled youth at risk, I understand how creativity can be used as a healing tool for empowerment and change.
I too was once a troubled kid and creativity along with adults who bothered to care made all the difference in my life. Thank you for making a difference in lives of these kids and thank you for your creativity! Catherine Meyers
