Follow-up
In the long-term we would like to run trainings on the Roma Genocide and in Holocaust and Human Rights Education on local and in international level which would also support to build a network of trainers and youth organizations in this context. We aim to support Individual and institutional follow-up initiatives of the participants and their organizations. Especially we want to support small initiatives that address remembrance on the local level, but also current issues of stereotypes and racism.
Educational toolkit on remembrance of the Roma genocide
The Council of Europe toolkit „Education for Remembrance: The Roma Genocide” is intended primarily for youth workers in non-formal settings, but it will be useful for anyone working in education, including in the formal sector. The toolkit contains some general information about the genocide and also various practical activities which can be used with groups of young people – both Roma and non-Roma. Links to further online resources are provided in the Appendix at the end.
