Project
Hostiong association is a noprofit apolitical organisation which was founded by a group of teachers, roma activists and roma students from Caras-Severincounty, in the south-west part of Romania in 2008. Due to it`s involvement in numerous projects concerning education, youth and voluntary work, the association has decided to develop a project that can combine all these three. That`s how “Be responsible, Be green!” was born.
