The Council of Europe Dialogue with Roma and Traveler civil society

June 13, 2024 Conferences

On 11-12 June 2024, our representative Chinara Majidova participated in the 17th meeting of the Council of Europe Dialogue with Roma and Traveler civil society.

The 17th meeting focuses on Roma and Traveller history and Roma Holocaust Remembrance, Recognition, and Education. The challenges in this area are that Roma and Travellers' history is not reflected in education, and most teaching materials overlook the Roma Holocaust.

The meeting aims to take stock of where Europe stands in terms of Roma Holocaust recognition and remembrance, discuss potential links between remembrance initiatives and calls for political action, and map tools and practices that can be used by member states to increase knowledge on Roma and Traveller history and Roma Holocaust within national and international policies, law and initiatives.
