Councils, Networks and Partnerships in Spain[editar]

Participating in consultative councils

The FSG not only launches and implements social intervention programmes and services, but also has a clear vocation to influence society and the policies aimed at Roma and, in particular, at those persons in situations of disadvantage. We intend to reach the key actors to successfully achieve our mission.

Institutional action thus forms part of the daily work of the FSG; it realises it by participating actively in various networks and partnerships with other stakeholders (including various public institutions, NGOs and companies), both at the Spanish and European levels, as well as in consultative councils and interlocution platforms with the national, regional and local levels of Spain’s public administration.

In the Spanish context, we form part of the following consultative bodies, networks and alliances:

• Spanish State Council of Social Action NGOs
• Spanish State Council of the Roma People
• Spanish Council for the Promotion of Equal Treatment and Non-Discrimination of Persons on Grounds of Race or Ethnicity

Meeting of the State Council of the Roma People, of which the FSG is a member
