Numerous children and curious parents participated in the workshop organized by PARI at the ASTRA County Library. Stories written by Roma authors were read, coloring was done, traditional Roma music was listened to, puzzles and flags with the green-blue flag of the Roma were made.

This year we had two special guests, pastor Sorin Boica from Hosman and Emil Anghel from Nocrich. We wanted to have a participatory approach to the event, to the contact with the public because Emil is of Roma ethnicity, and Sorin works and serves in a Roma community in the county. They were the ones who spoke to people about the life and faith of the Roma, about children and childhood.

The general purpose of the workshop was to raise awareness about the Roma as an integrated part of society.

PARI is a research project of “Lucian Blaga” University in Sibiu and VID University in Norway, financed by the Norway Grants 2014-2021 program and administered by UEFISCDI through contract no. 38/2021.
