The Romanis have a language of their own. This may well be a great discovery for many people.

Each one of them believes that he or she can change themselves and the world around them as they try to get themselves ‘plugged into’ the Ukrainian society—be it with human rights activity, modelling, mass media, or politics. Today, we are going to tell the story of Ukrainian Romanis, each of whom is in their own place, doing what they can and what is important, destroying socially imposed markers and proving that Romanis are just the same as anyone else.

Why was it important to take part in this conference? Let us hear from Volodymyr Yakovenko, Director of ARKA, in his interview for Polish Radio Ukraine.
