Romani Week 2021, held from 27-30 September, gathered policymakers, experts, activists, and organisations concerned with persistent antigypsyism in Europe, as a root cause of all problems Roma face.

During the Week, in total 13 events, workshops and meetings were held, where the participants discussed antigypsyism, hate speech, youth, health, reproductive rights, and other relevant topics.

Roma Integration action team followed all the sessions and took active participation in the discussions. Mr Orhan Usein, Roma Integration Head of Office, was one of the panelists at the event „EU Strategic Framework for Roma Equality, Inclusion and Participation: Adopting National Roma Strategic.

All events were live-streamed: if you missed any of them or want to watch them again, follow the links below.
