Training for Trainers on Holocaust and Human Rights Education
We invite experienced Sinti and Roma and non-Roma trainers, educators, youth activists to participate in a five-day training about education and remembrance of the genocide of Sinti and Roma during World War II in order understand and challenge the mechanisms of exclusion, of racism, antisemitism and antigypsyism today.
We are creating opportunities for participants to learn about the Roma genocide at the historical site of Jasenovac and deepen their understanding and reflection on the genocide and its impact for today from the perspective of human rights as a system of moral beliefs and behavior. We will discuss the roles, responsibilities and opportunities of youth in addressing current challenges of racism, discrimination and antigypsyism in order to become agents of change and build motivation, capacity, and empowerment of young people and youth organizations and to strengthen a Roma youth movement. The visit will also strengthen educational work at the Jasenovać Museum through the international youth encounter. The memorial and the relatively new museum in Jasenovac are places to which Roma youth can make an important contribution and from which lasting partnerships can emerge.
The project will develop new formats and methods of Holocaust education at historical sites, in particular by building on the “Voices of the Victims” section of the “RomArchive” – the digital archive of Sinti and Roma. The online archive has made some sources/testimonies from Croatia and the Western Balkans accessible, which can be used to create new educational formats and tools. The participants will test new creative tools and methods during the training-course in cooperation with educators and artists.
RomArchive (www.romarchive.eu) creates an internationally accessible, reliable source of knowledge on the Internet, which counters stereotypes and prejudices with facts. For the first time, the story of the genocide committed against the Romani minority was told exclusively from the perspective of the victims. Therefore, the sources can establish counter-narratives for Roma youth organisations to use in their educational work.

Mwalimu wa Utamaduni wa Ukombozi wa Roma na Ukombozi wa Haki za Binadamu (SINTA) amewakaribisha waalimu wa Utamaduni wa Roma na Utamaduni wa Utamaduni wa Roma kushiriki katika mafunzo ya siku tano kuhusu elimu na ukumbusho wa mauaji ya kimbari ya Sinti na Roma wakati wa Vita Kuu ya Pili ili kuelewa na kupinga mifumo ya kutengwa, ubaguzi wa rangi, antisemitism na anti-gypsyism leo. "Tunatoa fursa kwa washiriki kujifunza juu ya mauaji ya kimbari ya Waromani katika eneo la kihistoria la Jasenovac na kuimarisha uelewa wao na kutafakari juu ya mauaji ya kimbari na athari zake kwa leo kutoka kwa mtazamo wa haki za binadamu kama mfumo wa imani na tabia ya maadili. """ "Tutazungumzia ""majukumu, majukumu na fursa za vijana katika kukabiliana na changamoto za sasa za ubaguzi wa rangi, ubaguzi na upinzani wa Gypsy ili kuwa wawakilishi wa mabadiliko na kujenga motisha, uwezo na nguvu za vijana na mashirika ya vijana na kuimarisha harakati ya vijana wa Roma.""" Ziara hiyo pia itaimarisha kazi ya elimu katika Jumba la Makumbusho la Jasenovać kupitia mkutano wa kimataifa wa vijana. Makumbusho na makumbusho mapya katika Jasenovac ni maeneo ambayo vijana wa Roma wanaweza kutoa mchango muhimu na ambayo ushirikiano wa kudumu unaweza kutokea. Mradi huo utaendeleza muundo mpya na mbinu za elimu ya Holocaust katika maeneo ya kihistoria, haswa kwa kujenga juu ya sehemu ya "Sauti za Waathirika" ya "RomArchive" - kumbukumbu ya dijiti ya Sinti na Roma. Hifadhi ya mtandaoni imefanya baadhi ya vyanzo vya ushahidi kutoka Croatia na Balkan Magharibi kupatikana, ambayo inaweza kutumika kuunda miundo mpya ya elimu na zana. Washiriki watajaribu zana mpya za ubunifu na mbinu wakati wa kozi ya mafunzo kwa ushirikiano na walimu na wasanii. RomArchive (www.romarchive.eu) huunda chanzo cha kimataifa cha maarifa kinachoweza kupatikana, cha kuaminika kwenye mtandao, ambacho hupinga mitazamo ya kawaida na ubaguzi na ukweli. Kwa mara ya kwanza, hadithi ya mauaji ya kimbari yaliyofanywa dhidi ya wachache wa Waromani ilielezwa peke yake kutoka kwa mtazamo wa waathirika. Kwa hiyo, vyanzo vinaweza kuanzisha hadithi za kinyume kwa mashirika ya vijana wa Roma kutumia katika kazi yao ya elimu. Tarehe ya mwisho ya maombi: Oktoba 3, 2021; Taarifa ya kukubalika: Oktoba 6, 2021; Tarehe ya mkutano: Oktoba 28, 2021;  Oktoba 3. Mafunzo ya Novemba 2021: 29 Oktoba - 2 Novemba 2021 Mafunzo yanategemea mbinu za elimu isiyo rasmi, ikiwa ni pamoja na vikundi vya kazi ili kushiriki uzoefu na mazoea, mafunzo ya waalimu katika mbinu na mbinu za kuwezesha, vikundi vya kazi ili kuendeleza mipango, na vipindi vya kutafakari na tathmini. Mafunzo ni pamoja na ziara ya Jasenovac Memorial na Makumbusho na kuendeleza mbinu kwa ajili ya kazi ya vijana juu ya elimu ya kumbukumbu katika maeneo ya kihistoria. Wafundishaji wana nafasi ya kujaribu mbinu zao na kujenga uwezo wao wa kutekeleza shughuli halisi za elimu ya Holocaust na haki za binadamu katika mazingira yao wenyewe ya ndani. Mafunzo ya kawaida kuhusu Holocaust ya Roma, Ukumbusho na Elimu ya Haki za Binadamu, itazingatia mbinu za elimu isiyo rasmi za kuimarisha uraia wa kazi kwa ajili ya maadili yetu ya kidemokrasia na ya Ulaya kama vile haki za binadamu, heshima ya utofauti na kutokuwa na ubaguzi, na kushiriki na kuendeleza mikakati ya kupambana na anti-Gypsyism, ubaguzi wa rangi, antisemitism na ukatili katika Ulaya. "Mkutano huo ulijumuisha ""kujifunza kuhusu mauaji ya kimbari ya Waromani katika eneo la kihistoria la Jasenovac, muktadha wa kihistoria na kisiasa (mifumo na sababu) ambayo ilisababisha mauaji ya kimbari nchini Kroatia na nchi jirani, na matokeo ya leo.""" "Kujenga uelewa na tafakari juu ya mauaji ya kimbari na athari zake kwa leo kutoka kwa mtazamo wa haki za binadamu kama mfumo wa imani za maadili na tabia; kujadili majukumu, majukumu na fursa za vijana katika kukabiliana na changamoto za sasa za ubaguzi wa rangi, ubaguzi na upinzani wa Gypsy ili kuwa wawakilishi wa mabadiliko; kujenga motisha, uwezo na nguvu za vijana na mashirika ya vijana kushiriki katika kazi ya vijana wa ndani, kitaifa na kimataifa, na kuimarisha mtandao wa vijana wa Roma.
