A French school teacher has received a price for her work with Rroma children in France.
Well done!
A German professor for economy, Bernd Raffelhüschen, says that taking in refugees is the “biggest mistake of the last decades” as there is no way on can integrate those people in the workforce. The only thing he shows is how prejudiced he is read yourself … Rroma cannot be integrated in the workforce, Rroma should be sent back …
According to a recent report, half of Czech Rroma are not integrated in that country. How they arrived at those numbers (it is always difficult to know how many Rroma there are), fact is, the Czech Republic is a very difficult place for Rroma.
An interview with a young 17 years old Rromni in France and her wishes for the future. A nice change to the usual presentation of Rroma in the press!
A program aimed at giving Rroma a chance to express themselves via arts and culture took place in France. A success apparently.
Three articles on Rroma children and schools in France. In one, the destiny of a child who did not make it and dropped out; a second one stating that the state is abandoning children; and a last one about Rroma children “saving” a rural school from closure.
Another article on Nizaqete Bislimi, a lawyer and a Rroma refugee from Kosovo.
Interesting reading on the Rroma Decade and its failures. This from the OSI. Fact is, the Rroma decade did not achieve much, if anything…
Seems that integration is not that relevant. So called insertions villages near Paris have been cancelled. Why is not clear, but needs to be asked …
A report on the so-called “Bildungsberater” in Germany, people who help the integration of Rroma children in schools. Most of them, as the person cited here, are Rroma themselves.
Bravo!
Read this… Badly thought arguments, and the way against them on the refugee crisis. The paragraph on Rroma is particularly scary: The argument goes as follows: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria have not managed to integrated their Rroma, so they cannot take on any refugees.
The right way to say it: Nationalistic policies have tried to ethnicise and segregate minorities, and these have failed. Has nothing to do with refugees, and all to do with tolerance.
Representatives of the Rroma education fund met last Friday in Budapest and re-iterated that education is key for Rroma. Without it, no integration will truly be possible.
During a manifestation against Orban’s policies on refugees, Jenő Setét, a Rroma activist slammed Orbán for its policies and statements on Hungary’s Rroma. Recently Orban even stated that he would not wish other countries to live with such a minority…
Read this … Orban effectively says Hungary cannot take refugees as they have several hundred thousand Gypsies… And that he doesn’t ask anyone to live with such numbers.
Well for one, there are 800’000 according to the cogernment, and they beat the Hungarians to Europe.
SHAME!
– Asylum seekers get a result but it’s not over yet. In: Budapest Times. 12.09.2015. http://budapesttimes.hu/2015/09/12/asylum-seekers-get-a-result-but-its-not-over-yet/
Bulgaria and Sweden are talking about migrants and poverty and Sweden is hoping to improve the living conditions of Rroma there.
Let’s see… Sweden’s agreement with Romania did not do much.
During the second Rroma cultural festival in Dortmund, young Rroma took part in a round table aimed at reducing stereotypes. They spoke about their lives, and clearly, these do not conform to the stereotypes. This can be felt in the article, as the journalist has trouble accepting that this is the norm and not the exception.
The exceptions are the ones the press speak about all the time!
In Montreuil, north of Paris, a new integration policy is being put in place.
About time!
An article highlighting the need for a fundamental change and reform of the EU in order the further the Rroma integration.
Under pressure from residents, the city of Toulouse has cancelled its attempt to open a second insertion village aimed at integrating Rroma migrants.
A pity…
A recent study on the EU subsidies to Roma communities in the Balkan showed that only 1.5% of the aid was aimed at integration. Apparently, programs had “shortcomings”.
