About
Following on from the European Parliament's "European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day", ODIHR’s Contact Point for Roma and Sinti Issues will organise a webinar to discuss the importance of bringing education on past atrocities and how to avoid repeating them into the mainstream.
The event will be titled “The continued path to recognition of the Roma Genocide” and will underline the importance of teaching about the genocide - including as a means of addressing prejudices and stereotypes against Roma and Sinti in the current societal and political context.
Moderator
The event’s panel discussion will be moderated by Dan Pavel Doghi, Chief of the Contact Point for Roma and Sinti Issues, Senior Adviser on Roma and Sinti Issues.
