Presentation resources

The Roma Community Centre offers presentations to schools and organizations on the origins, history, culture and language of the Roma people.

• Our mandate is to combat stereotypes regarding the mythological "Gypsy" by presenting the reality of the Roma people to Canadian children and young people.
• We address the situation of systemic discrimination and persecution in former Soviet-Bloc countries that forces many Roma families to seek Convention-refugee status in Canada.
• We address issues facing recent arrivals as they attempt to integrate into Canadian society.
• We can work with your school or organization to jointly create a program that fits your specific needs.

Our presentations can include videos about the Roma people, such as:

• Refugees From Democracy – a CBC documentary about Roma in the Czech Republic
• The Gypsies of Svinia – an NFB production about Roma in Slovakia
• Lacho Drom – the musical journey of the Roma from India to Europe
• Other resources dealing with the history and culture of the Roma and the Roma Holocaust during WWII

 to discuss your presentation needs.
