 The IRIS Project, International Roma Integration Through Sport is aiming at countering anti-Roma stereotypes and their divulgation, fighting traditional and new stereotypes whose persistence and diffusion are at the roots of racist attitudes, discriminatory actions and violent incidents against Roma people.
Sport is a powerful integration tool and will be used in schools and sport clubs to bring together Roma and non Roma children, no matter of their origin, family background and sport skills.
 Children of different age met to discuss about racist traditional stereotypes to overcome, in the presence of teachers, experts, NGOs, public institutions. IRIS Project organized several seminars on social integration of Roma people, through sport.
During its seminars, Iris Project gave young people the opportunity to practise different sports: football, rugby-tag, target shooting, kin-ball, swimming, volleyball and dynamic games.
By these experiences they learn to stay together, Roma and no Roma people, different age, different cultures.
Participants met in countries of partners' associations: Italy, Bulgary, Romania.
