Book Club PAĽIKERAV

Some of the young Romani and Roma put up with hours of travelling to get to their book club. They want to show, as they themselves put it, that they are “not only good dancers and singers”, but that they “also have other, more intellectual hobbies, like reading books”. They have set out to prove this not only to the majority population, but also to their own community. Their success has been stunning. Recognition comes from all around. Also from those who started out sceptical. As if in passing, new projects are created all along. The youths with their book club escape predestination - given patterns of socialisation. Just like that and most innovatively. Paľikerav! Thank you!
