Maks organised a number of workshops with
vulnerable groups of the community to showcase
their organisation’s work on empowerment of
disadvantaged urban groups through digital media.
8 Roma women were following 1 week workshop to
learn digital storytelling. Their stories were about
social exclusion, violence against women, housing
and work and were turned into short video stories.
