Project description: The ROMODROM project was implemented in the form of several different events with the aim of educating the majority population about the culture, traditional heritage and participation of Roma in the cultural and socio-scientific life of our country.
During its implementation, the project included the organization of forums and concerts in Šabac, Ruma, Čačak, Kragujevac, Bečej and Belgrade. Each panel highlighted different aspects of Roma culture and the position of Roma in society, with a focus on cultural and artistic heritage, language and social inclusion, so the topics “The position of Roma women in the Roma community and society as a whole” in Šabac, “The influence of Roma on Serbian and European cinematography” in Ruma and “The Romani language as the most original element of Roma culture” in Čačak, “The position of women in the Roma community and society” in Kragujevac, “The influence of Roma on Serbian literature” in Bečej and “The position of the LGBTQ population in the Roma community” in Belgrade, attracted great attention from numerous audiences, and after each of these panels, the Kal group held a concert.
The last sixth ROMODROM panel at the Dom Omladine Club on the topic of the position of the LGBTQ+ population in the Roma community attracted the attention of a wide audience even during the promotional campaign itself. This panel discussion was moderated by TV presenter Filip Lukić, who is also an activist of the LGBTQ movement, and Ana Jovanović, a transgender woman and Roma, shared her experience. Antonije Pušić, better known as Rambo Amadeus, also participated in the panel discussion. After the concert of the KAL group at the Youth Center, Zejna, Princ od Vranje, Ivan Kurtić and Iva Barčić performed.
During the project, through cooperation with various artists and scientists of both Roma and non-Roma origin, the idea of encouraging and strengthening a healthy national pride of the Roma was successfully implemented.
