The team of Nakeramos, one of the Spanish partners of the Dikh He Na Bister initiative, organized a working day as a follow-up initiative of DHNB with the aim of the objectives of addressing the historical facts, debating the political contexts, and most importantly, discussing the role and responsibility of young educators, students, activists, and organizations in strengthening the change at the local, national, and international level.
Prior to this, on 26 October 2021, Nakeramos has organized an informative session regarding the consequences of limited information on the Roma Genocide, and the direct effects of Antigypyism that the communities experience locally.
Izabella Tiberiade and Chayma Rachdi, from the intercultural association Nakeramos, spoke to participants about anti-Gypsyism in the activity “Barvaliphe (wealth)”, within the Solidarity Autumn of the district of Sant Andreu, dedicated this year to interculturality.
Meeting took place in the Biblioteca Bon Pastor, a library which is positioned in one of the most marginalized neighborhoods in Barcelona. The activities carried out here are intended to reach out to residents of various group ages, to vulnerable youngsters. It was a small gathering talk and where the fact of continuing to work to make visible and get to know the gypsy people was shared, beyond rumors and prejudices.
