The material (developed by Valentin Negoi) will be addressed to those who have feelings of hate against the Roma that were caused by the realities that the Roma community had to endure, lack of empathy but also Roma students who do not know their history.
The material approaches the following topics: the appearance of the Roma in Romania, the Roma or Gypsy debate, the enslavement of the Roma in Romania, the emancipation of the Roma in the interwar period, the Holocaust of the Roma, the assimilation of the Roma in the interwar period.
