What is it about?
Appreciation of the Jury

Young people from the Roma community, due to their personal access, render tangibility to the information about the past and the present of the Roma people. Vulnerability as a factor: The participants can pose questions directly and may pose “difficult” questions. When room can be made to engage in direct dialogue, then stereotypes are usually harder to maintain. For the young Roma, these public tours are certainly good for their self-esteem, in both individual and social contexts. The tours for companies and embassies generate revenue and thus finance the social involvement.
