Deadline- 15 March 2013
All eligible participants are invited for Workshop on Roma Empowerment, which is funded by European Academic Network for Romani Studies. The workshop will be held at Corvinus University of Budapest on 30th May and 1st June 2013. The mission of this training is to explore effective practices of participatory policy formation, research, and empowerment.
The workshop is part of a three-day event Roma Participation, Empowerment, and Emancipation comprising a conference and another workshop on theoretical approaches to empowerment. The conference is open to a broader audience, whereas the limited number of participants of the two workshops are selected on the basis of two separate calls. The selected participants of the two workshops are encouraged to attend the conference and join each others’ workshops.
The European Academic Network for Romani Studies covers the travel and accommodation costs of a limited number of Roma participants. In addition, a limited number of non- funded participants will be selected. Roma MA and PhD students and graduates up to five years after the completion may apply for funding. BA graduates may also be considered on a case-by-case basis. Participants will be selected on the basis of their experiences, their knowledge of English, and their statement on empowerment.
Eligibility–
The workshop aims to attract primarily young, motivated, and experienced Roma researchers, activists, and professionals who have firsthand experience with Roma-specific programs, bodies, initiatives. Participants should be willing to reflect critically on their own experiences, share it with other workshop participants, and develop case studies. The language of the workshop is English: participants are expected to have a good command of English.
