Fanprojekt Babelsberg stands up against discrimination and against racism. So it was only a matter of time when we would visit them. After brief preliminary discussions, we met with some activists from Fanprojekt Babelsberg at SV Babelsberg’s home game against VfB Auerbach at Karl Liebknecht Stadium. We presented our workshop concept to the Babelsberg fan project and some of their “Diversity is Strength” coordinators, exchanged ideas about our anti-racist work and talked animatedly about anti-gypsy ideas in society.

Afterwards, we cheered on the teams on the soccer field, invited the Babelsberg fan project to our theater performance the next day, and made plans for the future together.

It was a great and inspiring meeting and we are looking forward to our further exchange with Fanprojekt Babelsberg!

Our peer* training

What sounds and is written like a tongue twister is a complex, year-round program for our young people, in which they receive comprehensive training as peer trainers. In order for them to be able to offer workshops on the topic of antigypsyism to their peers in schools and youth facilities later on, they have to acquire these skills at such a young age.

Advent, Advent, a little light is burning…

The days are short, the weather is too cold. There is a pandemic that complicates this dark season… but after Advent comes Christmas and our team is young and motivated. The youth would like to put on something creative that also provides information. Sounds right up our educational alley!

Out of the group an advent calendar against antigypsyism has been created, which lets open a little door every day – from A to Z. The campaign, which became an Instagram hit in its time, can be viewed at the following link…this time even without having to wait for the next day:

Theater play: We are here! Where are you?

At the youth center Dosto in Bernau, our youth group from Berlin put on a theater performance as part of the intercultural week, which we would like to incorporate later as an educational tool in our project. After intensive rehearsals, the young people, together with our chairman and experienced directorHamze Bytyçi, conceived a play in which the group talks about their experiences of discrimination. The play also tells the story of the first Roma congress 50 years ago and the resolutions passed there, as well as theatrically demonstrating the continuity of antigypsyism. After the performance, there was a round of questions in which the young people talked about the project and about the different realities of Roma lives.
You can watch the video of the play here or at the following link on facebook.

Theater play “We are here! Where are you?” from 12th of September 2020

Networking meeting in Eberswalde

Today we are in Eberswalde – with our great youth group from Berlin and with Merle, who is responsible for our Brandenburg group. Here we met with two other Roma youths and talked about a possible youth group in Brandenburg. Before, such a meeting was not possible because of the pandemic. As long as the weather cooperates and there is no lockdown, we would like to continue organizing such networking meetings. The best way to talk is face to face! In the near future it will become clearer if and how we will build up our Brandenburg youth group. If you live in Brandenburg and know interested young people with a Romani background or with experiences of racist discrimination who would like to be trained as peer trainers so that they can later report on antigypsyism in educational institutions, contact us!
