The mission of IDIC ILO is to create an educational environment that broadens our understanding and appreciation of multiculturalism, diversity, social and economic justice.

IDIC ILO aims to establish a broad community network that is committed to working together towards the recognition and acceptance of the dignity and worth of every individual and providing a warm, welcoming, supportive, and vibrant environment for all underrepresented.

IDIC ILO sets its goals but not limited to become an educational platform where Roma and non-Roma can access knowledge about the Roma identity, history, and culture through a collection of high-quality lectures delivered by leading Roma activists, public figures, scholars on topics ranging from Roma Holocaust and enslavement to Roma identity and  Roma cultural productions.

Create a space for Roma to become active in American society through empowerment, mobilization, and self-organization.

Support Roma women and girls by fostering their capacities and leadership to be equallyand fairly involved in public life and decision-making.

Networking with Roma and non-Roma people from different countries to reach the common objectives through our international, national, and local work.

IDIC  ILO sets its activities to produce a functional Roma Cultural Center in Chicago and continue  to foster an environment that promotes leadership development, a sense of community, and a sense of mattering.
