The Ashoka Fellowship in Romania includes six Fellows who lead non-governmental organizations (NGOs) addressing social issues in Romania. This project explored methods for implementing collaborative approaches focused on intersectionality, or the overlap of social identities, among the Fellows and reviewed intersectionality and best practices for collaboration. Surveys of the Fellows and stakeholders within the NGOs indicated that most Fellows have a basic understanding of intersectionality, and that overlapping social identities exist amongst the communities. These findings formed the basis for a guide Ashoka Romania can use to conduct a focus group with the Fellows and a design for a webpage to aid the Ashoka Fellowship in bolstering collaboration focused on intersectionality.
