EUROPE FOR CITIZENS PROGRAMME

Posted on May 30, 2013 at 13:30 8 Comments

On 28 May 2013 the Edication, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) of the European Commission published on internet the list of Projects Granted.

In total 26 projects will receive a grant from the Europe For Citizens Programme; none of these 26 projects deals with Roma and Sinti! Our Face the Music project, grant application submitted on 31 January, has been rejected, in spite of the warm welcome we received in Brussels in 2012.

See for more…

Hi Els, sure I can join the media as well, just I am not sure if I will find the time for everything.

I am a Founder / Editor-in -Chief of POLONIA News Magazine and that is taking big chunk of mine time. I was born in Poland, so European issues especially involved with Polish are good for my magazine. If I can help with my internet magazine of course I will.

Cheers, Bob

Thank you, Bob!

I am happy you are from Poland, for you may have noticed that there are very few artists from there. There is an American writer living in Poland and Chad Evans Wyatt, photographer from the States, regularly goes to Poland (and als Czech Republic) for his Romarising network. We all would be very glad to involve more artists from Poland. If you could help, that will be a great contribution! Artists may also profit from joining themselves, because our Initiative provides them with good PR.

Kind regards,

Els

Merci pour votre accueil Els ! je vais prendre le temps de découvrir ce site et les initiatives qui y germent. Je vous félicite déjà pour cette plateforme autour de la cause tzigane, et l'esprit de liberté qui y est associé. Bonne soirée.

Dear Els,

Thanks for your kind words. Twenty years ago I left Romania with a hope: to find freedom. In these years I lost it, and this would be the last thing I wish to our Roma's. This fake "new" world can not accept another way of living and expression. That's why I joined "Khetanes". Because we need them! ps: I work with young people between 16 and 23 years old...Also victims of this hypocrite system...And my passion is art as art of existence in all forms

At 20:59 on December 15, 2011, Els said…

Dear Zoe,

Many Roma are frustrated, which I can very well understand. Yet, I am always happy when people don't give up. Khetanes is not magic, it is "just" uniting all creative power and engagement. The more we are, the stronger we get. I saw the charming photos you posted today. Are you coaching young photographers or mainly working as a poet? Or both? It is not only important for the Who is who tab (Main page), but also for future activities to know what could be your contribution. So, please, inform us more in detail. And take care!

Kind regards,

Els
