Due to the low perception of the history and identity of the Romani people, the Romani people are having many difficulties in each European country. Therefore, we will hold an event to improve awareness and understanding of the Romani people and inform the current state of discrimination faced by the Romani people in each country.
“Roma populate inhomogeneous social and economic worlds, with great diversity within the same ethnic group. Social risks are not evenly distributed among the entire Roma population, being also determined by the forms of construction and identity identification.
The social programmes addressed to Roma beneficiaries must address the Roma in all their variety and avoid looking at the Roma as a homogeneous group. ”
Georgiana Ionita (Romania)

Background Information
As one of the oldest minority groups , approximately 10 million to 12 million Romani people mostly reside in Europe. To this day, however , there are still many prejudices and social discriminations against them due to lack of knowledge.
