Our projects/activities are following our strategic objectives:
1. We have activities focused on empowerment of Roma youth – “Peer to peer education”, project financed by Porticus and SHL foundation; duration: 24 months; budget: 90.000 €. The project aims at both, educating youngster on certain subjects they face in their everyday life such as sexually transmitted diseases, violence, discrimination etc, and mobilizing them to become proactive members of the society. The project is based on the principle of creating a space for joint action of young Roma and Non-Roma, aiming at breaking existing prejudices and consequently promoting social inclusion of the Roma minority through peer education. The emphasis of the project is a peer education program that incorporates the “Join in circuit”  methodology. The peer education program consists of a capacity training session for 20 young Roma and Non-Roma, in which they gain knowledge and practical skills to become facilitators of the “Join in circuit” methodology.  After they have become experts and certified peer educators we will organize peer education workshops, in which youngsters will transfer their knowledge to their peers. Educational workshops will educate school students in primary and secondary schools, because peer violence is mostly present in these two school forms.
Also, we are promoting volunteerism and cooperate with Local voluntary service in Bijeljina and by supporting community actions of volunteers.
2. Activities focused on safety and wellbeing of children and youth – project “Safety for children in Bosnia and Herzegovina”, financed by GIZ; duration 7 months; budget: 1.500€. Main activities are focused on informal education of children beggars and their parents and to support of Working group for protection of child’s safety and promotion of the Protocol of cooperation. Working group concept is a multidisciplinary approach which
3. Otaharin’s new/different approach of supporting the integration of Roma through education is visible in project “Integration of Roma children in education system from all Roma communities in Bijeljina and Živinice”, financed by Roma Education Fund, duration: 24 months; budget: 39.635€, and project “Quality education – quality life”, financed by United Nations Development Programme in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNDP), duration: 9 months, budget: 21.320 €. Main activities of these projects are additional classes from Serbian language and Mathematics for Roma pupils in primary schools. On these classes pupils are provided with: special program adjusted for their level of knowledge, individual work, school material, food, Roma assistant. Teachers on additional classes are following closely improvement of knowledge and keep monthly records for every pupil (following their absence, grades, behaviour, knowledge...).  Also, the most important aspects of our work are field work and meetings with parents, where our Roma mediator and field workers are constantly present in the Roma communities and with conversation are trying to overcome numerous problems which cause irregular school attendance. We formed a Mobile Intervention Team which consists of representatives of schools, City administration, Social Welfare Centre and Day care centre. Role of this team is to visit families of pupils who are not coming to school regularly every month. This approach showed good results. REF project is also focused on preschool and secondary education, so we are enrolling children in kindergartens and support them to enrol to secondary school and faculties. In 2015 first Roma enrolled to faculty in Bijeljina and Otaharin supported her from primary school.
Our activities include programs for parents: workshops for positive parenthood and workshops of literacy.
4. Otaharin supported founding of association of Roma women in Bijeljina and these women have meetings on a weekly basis, with topics they identify as interesting and useful (literacy, meetings with representatives of Social Welfare Centre, Police, Health Centre – to talk about family violence, social protection, discrimination, sexually transmitted diseases, workshops about entrepreneurs...). We employed two single Roma women/mothers.
 

Neon productions a produit ces dernières années plusieurs films de réalisateurs étrangers venus de pays du sud de la Méditerranée. Pour exemple "Madame Courage" (2015 Festival de Venise) de Merzak Allouache aborde les difficultés de la jeunesse algérienne dans un pays qui offre peu de perspectives d'avenir.  "Yema" (2013 Festival de Venise) de Djamila Sahraoui traite quant-à lui des séquelles laissées par la guerre d'Algérie à travers la figure d'une mère déchirée entre ses deux fils. Enfin "En secret" (2011 Festival de Sundance) de Maryam Keshavarz pose la question de l'homosexualité des jeunes femmes iraniennes et de leurs libertés.
Neon productions travaille aujourd'hui au développement de Wall Pass, un documentaire porté par le réalisateur algérien Malek Sahraoui. Wall Pass présente une réalité peu connue : tout autour de la Méditerranée, juifs, chrétiens et musulmans fréquentent les mêmes lieux saints à de multiples occasions. Côté-à-côté, ils prient, font des voeux, célèbrent, sans heurt. S'agissant du sujet extrêment sensible des identités religieuses, ce documentaire est le fruit d'un travail de longue haleine et d'une collaboration avec Manoël Penicaud et Dionigi Albera, chercheurs en anthroologie au CNRS et commissaires de l'exposition Les Lieux Saints Partagés présentée pour l'inauguration du Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée (MuCEM, 2015). 
L'équipe de Neon production met actuellement toute son énergie au service de ce projet dont le diffusion s'inscrit dans une logique d'engagement citoyen : la connaissance et la promotion des échanges entre les peuples de la Méditerranée.

We are a grass root organization, therefore, we focus on activities and projects that are mainly needed for our members, like informative seminars and training workshops on equality, stereotypes, pensions rights, workers rights, health rights, trafficking, violence for women and children. We are also active in main gender issues such as pay gap, parity at all levels of decision making, participation, elevation of woman in the business environment, maternity/paternity rights, as well as the protection of human rights in general and or specific (LGTB rights, refugees and migrants protection). For all these issues, we do have seminars, workshops open not only for our members but any interested person, as well as we held, organize and or participate in campaigns promoting all the above. Last but not least, we do work towards reconciliation and a viable solution to the Cyprus Problem, based on UN and EU principles and we are working on closing the gap that the 42 years of separation created between Cypriots of the two main communities. In order to be even more active in that field, we are members of the Cyprus Dialogue Forum.  

Depuis sa fondation, l'Association est dans le registre des associations andalouses et elle a visibilité sur Facebook avec cinq cent quinze membres de différentes parties du monde, en particulier avec les villes arabes avec lesquels la ville est jumelée comme Fès (Maroc) et Kairouan (Tunisie).
Dans sa courte existence, elle a mené une série d'activités conforme avec ses statuts fondateurs. En 2013, un membre de cette association  a organisé et il a produit une exposition de caractère historique et  rétrospective et sur le 50e anniversaire du Festival  mondiale de la poésie  arabe célébré á Cordoue en 1963. Un des premiers grands événements culturels internationaux de l'histoire contemporaine de la ville et un festival que a rassemblé les principales personnalités diplomatiques politiques, intellectuelles et poétiques de divers pays arabes.
Aussi dans cette même année, l'Association a inspiré et a exhorté au Conseil municipal Córdoba promouvoir le début des négociations de jumelage avec la ville de Rome. Finalement les négociations ont conclu avec une visite officielle et la rédaction d'un protocole.
De même, l'association "Cordoba dans le monde» a également renforcé ses relations avec la ville de Nuremberg (Allemagne) a travers d’échanges professionnels et citoyens des deux villes.
