The tabloids are smearing Roma – but we've heard these myths before.

Developments in mediation, current challenges and the role of ROMED

The training programme for Roma mediators, launched in 2011, is unique in terms of the fundamental effects it produces, both in Europe at large and in the 47 member states of the Council of Europe. This work sets out to contextualise the initiatives taken, highlight their utility and evaluate them. It is intended to provide guidance for the programme leaders, enable active participants - trainers, mediators, employers and others - to see their efforts as part of an overall scheme, help policy makers to take the right decisions and describe and explain the operation to a broader audience. The programme's activities concerning Roma are a model for positive action. They make an effective contribution to European co-operation, action to combat discrimination and marginalisation and the search for ways to improve difficult situations. ROMED therefore helps to fuel the development of intercultural policies capable of managing present-day societies, of which diversity and pluralism are the hallmarks.

My own path in Romani identity: Personal testimony of Roma media activist

There were times in my life when I had to hide my Romani background, because there were many people around who were intolerant and prejudiced … There were times when I was feeling the fear and shame when IT became known to the others … There were times when I did not hide IT and faced the rejection as a consequence … Slowly the pride for my Romani heritage and the strong desire to manifest my Romani background got victory over the feelings of fear and shame. And there is the time now when I am feeling proud for IT and meet a lot of good-willing people on my life`s path, on my Romano Drom (Romani Path)!
