The RGPP program helped to improve my English and academic skills, and prepared me to compete for Master's-level courses at internationally recognized universities. Furthermore, it gave me access to an internship grant awarded by the Open Society Foundations, for graduated students of the Roma Access Program. This grant aimed at boosting our professional development and career skills through a 6 months long internship to be carried out in a Roma organization in our country of origin or at international level.

The Roma Graduate Preparation Program contributed to my intellectual growth and career development. The program, thanks to the excellent curricula, is a balanced mixture of academic English training and academic writing skills from which I am still benefiting greatly. Besides the academic preparation, the program supported me during my internship at the Embassy of the United States of America in Bratislava.

The Roma Access Programs represent a unique space of transformations. It is a space of constant questioning of the knowledge about the worlds we grew up in, and those towards which we strive, in a joint journey and struggle against discrimination and exclusion. Roma Access Programs offer an environment that is a safe space for renegotiation of our knowledge about what it means to be Roma. I was blessed to have classmates and be in an institution that supports this dialogue.

RGPP is the beginning, the beginning of your professional and academic career. It is the beginning of acquiring the tools and the knowledge that can strongly help you make your dreams come true. If you are committed to work on Roma issues but also to develop yourself in an international environment, do apply!

RGPP is just like the roots of a tree that furnish the nutrients for the community growth by providing an environment to develop your knowledge, to embrace and challenge your own identity and develop academic skills to challenge the status quo of the Roma in the society.
