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.

Training on Human Rights and Anti-Tsiganism

The council of Europe is inviting young people to apply to a regional training on combatting anti-Tisganism though human rights to be held in Odessa, in the Ukraine.
Frankly, teaching people about their human rights when their legal rights are not even respected is, at least in our minds, not the best way to fight discrimination. We’ve seen that in several countries.
Let’s hope …

– Apply now: human rights education for youth to battle Roma discrimination.

UK: 1st Year Pupils’ Statistics

Published by:

The UK released comprehensive statistics about the performance and capabilities of 1st year school children. As is the case in the UK, ethnicity is also recorded. Rroma and travellers’ children are doing particularly badly in this context. Not surprising if one consider that (a) most Rroma are very recent migrants from Eastern Europe and Balkans and (b) integrated Rroma almost never reveal their identity openly.

France: School and Rroma Migrants

Published by:

Several articles this week on the schooling of Rroma migrants. According to the press, one in 5 mayor in France is “reticent” to take Rroma children in school. More than half of the young adults living in camps have totally dropped out of school. Luckily there are also volunteers who teach reading in writing to young children in the camps themselves. For a country that prides itself to have “universal” access to school, SHAME.
