Many Don’t Say They Are Roma

Published by:

In an Interview, Erich Schneeberger, the chairman of the Bavarian Association of Sinti and Roma says that many simply don’t say that they are Sinti or Roma in Germany.
Not a surprise, unfortunately.

France: Closure

Published by:

An association “Roms Action” is forced to fire several of its employees due to cuts in subsidies from the state. Bad, as they did quite a good job in the camps.
And certainly not the best idea from the French state. The association is now trying to find people willing to work for free to help.

Rome: Not the Right Way

Published by:

The city of Rome is resorting to bad ideas to “resolve” its issue with Roma camps around the city. They are trying to “convince” the Roma to return and even entice them with 10’000 EUR.
Problem is, these Roma have mostly been in Italy for more than 20 years, if not for much longer. The Italians kept them in camps instead of integrating them. Self-inflicted wound, and what they do is not a solution.

Movie and Stereotypes

Published by:

The movie “Pure Hearts” from Roberto De Paolis tells the story of a young girl educated by a pious single mother who meets a parking guard who works across a Roma camp. And the Roma are there as a background with all stereotypes.
Good movie certainly, but touchy way to show cast Roma.

Slovenia: New Law

Published by:

The new law on Roma community has been undergoing public hearing. During this period, 16 complaints were received at the Nationalities Office on the proposed amendments to the law on the Roma community. While, according to some Romani organizations, there are some positive ideas, others point to an even greater discrimination against the Roma and think that the proposed change in the composition of the Council of the Roma community are not positive.
To be watched.

Really?

Published by:

Yet another example of what really doesn’t bring much benefits to anyone:
The Social Work Center Črnomelj has conducted a series of workshops for children and adolescents within the framework of the Roma Assistance Program for Socialization in the Multipurpose Roma Center. Four Fridays in a row, 17 different children spent the afternoons in the VNRC. The themes of the workshops were appropriate for the annual time, that is, the Christmas decoration and New Year themes.
What does this bring?

First and Second Diaspora

Published by:

A portrait of an Indian physicist who studied in Moscow, married in Czechoslovakia and has since lived in the Ostrava region. He founded an association called Mutual Collaboration, which implemented a number of successful programs for Roma in the Ostrava region and in the Moravian-Silesian Region in an effort to bring them closer together to the majority population. He has received several awards and general respect from all sides: from politicians, Roma, police of the Czech Republic, foundations and embassies. He has no problem to stand in the middle of a crowd and calm them down. With his conduct, patience and grace, he has also received grudging respect from some of the extremists.
