Movement Building Specialist
Stevica Nikolić
Stevica Nikolić is Movement Building Specialist at Roma for Democracy. He contributes movement-building expertise to the organising capacity, leadership, and public infrastructure through which Roma can act as a constituency and engage decision-makers on systemic change.
Active since the age of 16, Stevica began with the Red Cross and the Association of Roma Students before co-founding Opre Roma Serbia. He has worked on voter turnout, census self-identification, anti-racism, infrastructure, and mass dialogues connecting Roma with Serbia’s President, Prime Minister, and ministers. He has trained more than 30 trainers, while Barvalipe opened public-administration opportunities for over 50 young Roma.
Stevica holds a degree in Management Engineering and is a former Roma Education Fund scholar and Open Society Foundations fellow. He is a GIZ-certified trainer of trainers, an NDI-certified political skills trainer, and completed CIPD Strategic Workforce Planning training.
At RFD, Stevica contributes movement-building expertise that connects organising with decision-making. His work helps priorities become structured demands, creates channels between Roma and senior institutions, and supports the follow-through required to move systemic change from dialogue towards implementation.
