Czech Republic: A Rroma View

Published by:

An interview with Michal Mižigar on inclusion and on the future. He speaks on schools, and on the still prevalent use of special schools to segregate Rroma. A worthy read!
Bravo Michu!

European Union Admits Failure

Published by:

The European Agency of Fundamental Rights admitted failure in stopping the discrimination against Rroma. Again the 80% figure of Rroma living under poverty. We repeat, it is 80% of the 36’000 interviewed Rroma. This is different, but it seems that some journalists ought to go back to school and learn about percentages.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Usual lot of news in France. First, a mayor in the XVth Arrondissement in Paris refused the access to the school canteen to 20 poor children, many of which were Rroma. His ratiuonale, they were getting a free lunch funded by Emmäus, a chrity, close to the school. BAD!
Other than that: A fire in a squat near Paris puts 50 people out in the street; a new solution is proposed to the Rroma who were expulsed in Montreuil more than hundred days ago and whose children are not is school as they have no permanent residence; another fire in Marseilles; better news in the North of France, with a collective helping Rroma integrate, the story of Rroma who are there since 6 years, and the constriction of social housing; and in the West, the creation of four or five camping sites for Rroma (it is an obligation in France) and the questions of a cleanup of former camping sites that are full of garbage, although often not left by Rroma).

Slovakia: Education and Rroma

Education for the Rroma minority is failing. Rroma, who are often put into special schools are de-facto barred from higher education, be it secondary or higher. This even though it is proven, that education is the best way to prevent unemployment.

Interesting week in France: Instead of just camps and their removal, we have a series of themes – schools and prostitution which made the headlines. But first, the usual camp chronicle …
First a movie comparing the integration of Portuguese and Rroma in Ivry, near Paris; then the story of a pro-Rroma militant who was getting paid to expulse them (YES!!!); the dreation of a collective for helping Rroma in the North; the story of Rroma squatting a school and the story of Rroma finally finding a place to stay in the North; a fire in a camp in Marseilles; and the usual story about the Rroma from Montreuil who still have no abode.

Buddha and Rroma

Published by:

A surprising tale of Buddha in the middle of a Rroma settlement in Hungary. A school named after Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891 – 1956), an Indian lawyer coming from the Dalits in a Rroma settlement aims at helping Rroma out of the exclusion which is too often the norm in Hungary. The school is run by Janos Orsos, a Rrom who converted to Buddhism.
