Workshops
We offer workshops for students, educators, filmmakers, and creative professionals that address the often-overlooked issue of antigypsyism in cinema and media. These sessions are designed to raise awareness, deepen understanding, and foster more inclusive storytelling practices as well as critical media literacy.
Our workshop formats range from short 90-minute online introductions to immersive full-day trainings of up to 6.5 hours (including breaks), and can be tailored to the needs of specific groups or institutions.
Through dialogue, analysis, and practical exercises, participants will gain tools to critically engage with existing representations of Romani individuals and communities, and to avoid reproducing harmful tropes in their own creative and educational work.
