Roma History, Culture, and Education
Roma Week 2025 emphasizes the integration of Roma history and culture into school curricula to foster awareness and respect for Roma contributions to European heritage.
Education and digital inclusion are highlighted as key tools for empowerment, ensuring Roma students have equal access to resources and opportunities.
Transitional and restorative justice initiatives, such as Jekhipen, will also spotlight historical injustices against Roma communities and explore pathways toward healing.
Political Inclusion and Representation
The event aims to safeguard Roma inclusion during political shifts in the EU, ensuring Roma, Sinti, and Travellers remain a priority on policy agendas despite rising far-right influences.
Strengthening Roma political representation, particularly for women and youth, is a central goal, with a focus on building future leaders and cross-party alliances.
Accountability in EU funding will also be addressed, ensuring that resources allocated for Roma inclusion are used effectively and transparently.
Fighting Discrimination and Building Solidarity
Roma Week 2025 takes a strong stance against antigypsyism and structural discrimination, framing them as urgent human rights issues requiring stronger policy responses.
Intersectional approaches are emphasized to address the compounded challenges faced by Roma women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and youth.
By linking with EU Antiracism Week, the event seeks to strengthen solidarity across racialized groups, including Black and migrant communities, uniting efforts against systemic racism and promoting equality across Europe.
