On March 14 to 17 ternYpe gathers in Brussels 35 young Roma activists and partner representatives in order to advocate for wider recognition of the Roma genocide, as well as to present the practices and conclusions of the Roma Genocide Remembrance Initiative to the European Parliament, European Commission and international stakeholders. Join us to raise the Roma youth voice in the debate on the recognition, education and remembrance of the Roma Genocide in Europe!
Program: The meeting includes a “Working Breakfast of Young Roma with Members of the European Parliament”, which are informal meetings in small groups with various MEPs that actively engage for Roma. A “Side Event” in the context of the EU Roma Platform shall present and advocate the Roma Genocide Remembrance Initiative. As much as possible we try to use the days as well to continue the Berlin meeting of December 2014, thus, as a working meeting to continue the development of the Roma Genocide Remembrance Initiative in the future.
