 Expected results
The project will contribute to raising awareness of national minorities’ representation in Police. Young people belonging to ethnic minorities will be informed regarding the advantages of a career in police, admission requirements and educational program provided.

Following the counseling and provided support, we expect young people belonging to ethnic groups to benefit from equal opportunities at the admission and to overcome all prejudices. Thus, after graduating police schools, they will return in their communities confronting interethnic conflicts, and bring added value to public authority’s management capacity.

Over 1.800 Hungarian, Roma and German high-school students in 28 schools from Cluj, Covasna, Harghita, Mureş, Satu Mare, Sibiu will be informed about career opportunities in Romanian Police. 49 of them will test their abilities within the camp Mission possible - equal opportunities in choosing careers.
