Past events The Pata-Cluj project attended the spring edition of the Career Fair During the two days of the 100th edition of the Cluj Global Career Fair the Pata-Project was represented by a team of 10 people consisting of case managers, professional counselling coordinators, community facilitators and representatives of the communication team. At the project’s stand besides an interactive presentation, there was a thematic presentation highlighting theme 8 (employment opportunities) for potential employers. These presentations targeted first of all the employers, with the aim of making future employments from the Pata Rât community, as well as Cluj citizens with the purpose of raising awareness regarding the marginalization and exclusion of the Roma from the job market. A separate presentation of the project and of the role of the employment component (theme 8) was held for the potential employers. At the end of the two days a database containing the contact details and job offers of the employers was created. Cluj citizens that stopped by the stand showed interest and support for the project and after the two event days, a data base of all the people that want to be actively involved as volunteers and of people that wish to contribute to certain project activities was created.
