International and European field

This field comprises two lines of action:

• Cooperation programmes between entities of distinct countries in order to work on specific issues or areas (health, education, social inclusion...).
• Direct technical support and advice programmes to distinct countries and institutions.

At the same time, the FSG maintains a constant presence in and collaboration with the distinct departments and entities of the European area in order to make sure that Roma issues are taken into account in all initiatives.

State policy field

Our organisation is developing three lines of work in this field:

• implementation of policies in various territories and autonomous communities;
• Development of training and research programmes of interest to the state in its entirety;
• Information, training and technical advice services that are requested from us or that we offer.

In this field, we also intend to influence the policies that affect the Roma community. We therefore collaborate with and monitor different types of actions (Plans of Inclusion, training and employment issues, health, consultative committees).

Territorial and local field

We believe that actions aimed at the Roma community must be implemented within a concrete geographical setting, close to its members. For this reason, the FSG's direct intervention programmes form part of this field of action, in which the working teams and actions, through strategic plans and programmes that are aimed at having a territorial basis, reach Roma men and women directly.

The FSG, which considers this field of action as very important, has a Territorial Officer in each of Spain's 14 Autonomous Communities in which we work.

If one fundamental axis of our work structure is the geographical setting, the second and no less important axis is the organisation of programmes and activities in accordance with fundamental lines or Areas of Work. This work structure allows us to share our experience and specialisation in each of these areas.

This structure consists in three fundamental blocs:

• The Department of Employment and Professional Training, which develops actions in areas of employment, occupational training, work orientation, among other actions.
• The Department of Social Action, which integrates the following specific areas of work: Education, Equal Treatment, Housing, Gender Equality, Health, Promotion of Culture, Youth, Documentation Centre, Inmate Population.
• The third bloc, asembled in the Administrative Directorate, focuses on different areas and lines of action that involve a close collaboration between them and that involve the direct support and monitoring by the organisations's Directorate. Areas such as the promotion of Roma culture, international cooperation, equal treatment, communication and documentation centre.

Each Department is managed by one Officer, who coordinates its internal work; concurrently, each work area is managed by one Officer.
