ERGO Network and Amnesty International are announcing the results for the contest “My story, my rights”. The competition received entries from all over Europe. The winning entry by Calin Denis and Danila Elena, 17-year-old high school students from Oravita, Romania, is a painting of a Roma child holding a mirror that reflects the world around him.

RomaReact fully believes that the EU should set up a Roma Community Program in the EU 2020 programming period with the involvement of the Roma Civil Society. This is why we also signed the petition. Let your friends and colleagues know and get them sign it too. Thank you!

40 young Roma university students occupied downtown Edirne to set up the first Roma Flashmob ever in Turkey. Roma belly dancers, fortune tellers, beggars and an alcoholic invading the crowd get frozen. Music unfreezes them again and then they change into lawyers, nurses, engineers showcasing through their own personal stories the need to make a change.

Commissioner Laszlo Andor heading DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion unexpectedly requested a flash meeting with Juicy Vamosi, member of the Young Advisors Group to VP Commissioner Neelie Kroes in charge of the Digital Agenda of Europe to congratulate the RomaReact.org team for their effort to build a large Roma community on the Internet.
