This international stocktaking roundtable invites us to examine the current state of recognition of the dark chapters of history related to antigypsyism. The event will explore how the legacies of this historically-rooted structural form of racism against Roma are impeding the right to know and the right to truth and justice.
CHACHIPEN project allows us to draw inspiration and lessons from the experiences of the German Independent Commission on Antigypsyism (Unabhängige Kommission Antiziganismus) which presented its conclusions in April 2021.
On the occasion of the International Roma Day, we greet the Roma communities throughout the world. On 8th April 1971 Romani activists hold the First International Congress calling for a stronger awareness raising of the persecution faced by Sinti and Roma and for the demand of equal participation.
CEPS in cooperation with ERGO Network and Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, are proud to launch “CHACHIPEN”, a new project on the remembrance, recognition of antigypsyism, justice and trust-building between Roma and non-Roma people in Europe.
