The ROCIT team would like to remind you of International Roma Day, which has been celebrated since the first World Roma Congress, held on April 8th, 1971 in London.
This day is not only an opportunity to recognize the rich culture and history of Roma people worldwide, but also to reflect on the challenges, discrimination, and inequalities they continue to face.
Since 2022, and more systematically since the official launch of ROCIT in 2024, our team has focused on the displacement of Ukrainian Roma, as well as their reception and mobilization of Roma communities in Ukraine, Poland and Czechia.
Today, we celebrate the resilience and agency of the people we have met during our fieldwork. We invite you to watch the trailer of the film our team has prepared, in collaboration with Paulina Ibek and Maciej Gonkiewicz: NA MOJEJ ZIEMI / НА МОЇЙ ЗЕМЛІ / PRE MIRI PHUW / ON MY LAND
We will let you know when the film will be ready for screening – hopefully this will happen soon!
