The story of a small town in the mountains which, 10 years ago had several Roma settlements on the outskirts of the town, where Roma did not attend school, with high unemployment. Thanks to the effort of a social worker Markéta Horneková, who developed a community centre so that the children had somewhere to spend their time meaningfully after school and built a team of field workers from local skilled Roma who were eager to make a difference, huge progress was made.

With the mayor also pitching in, the situation has totally changed ten years later.

Well done.
