MEETING: Creating Equal Participation Areas for the Inclusion of Roma

Monday 26/11/2018, 17:30, HALL OF VEMI, PAPASTRAUTOS UNIVERSITY THESSALY

On the occasion of the beginning of an important European program (CoSpIRom), which is coordinated by the UTH on the inclusion of Roma in basic social processes and structures, the University of Thessaly and the KEKPA-DIEK Municipality of Volos co-organize a workshop titled: Creating Equal Participation Areas for the Inclusion of Roma.

The conference will discuss issues related to the role of education, the media and the police in the social inclusion of the Roma population. The main objectives of the Program, which includes the specific workshop, include:

- Creating common spaces of interaction and synergy between the two communities.

- Demolition of symbolic borders, confrontation of stereotypes and practices of discrimination

- Strengthening the Roma's individual and collective identity. Recognition and expression of their state rights and obligations

- Contributing to the improvement of European and national strategies for the social inclusion of the Roma

- Exchange of practices between the participating European countries

This European Program, which is coordinated by the UTH is of particular value, as a very small number of programs in this category are approved by the European Commission following rigorous evaluation procedures. Participating in the program are Greek universities (University of Pisa, UNIPI), West University of Timisoara (WUT), University of Pisa, UNESCO.

 This conference was funded by the European Union’s Rights,
