Led by the Czech Business Leaders Forum in cooperation with Nova Skola, a Czech foundation active in Romany education programmes, young Romanies will be provided with free training on how to set up and run a business and given one-on-one help by volunteer business mentors from the local Czech Romany community. Financial assistance is available in the form of small loans for the development of suitable business plans.
