Breakfast talk with the Minister for Culture and Democracy at Obeya
Monday, April 8th, is International Roma Day - an important day that sheds light on one of Sweden's national minorities. The Roma people have been part of Sweden since the 16th century, and today it is estimated that around 50,000 people here have various types of Roma backgrounds.
Common to the group, both now and then, are the experiences of discrimination, abuse, oppression, and prejudice that the Roma people are and have been subjected to throughout their Swedish history.
Our client Teskedsorden (The Teaspoon Order) and Obeya therefore invite you to a breakfast talk on International Roma Day, focusing on Roma experiences of discrimination, past and present. What is it like to live as a Roma person in Sweden today? And how can we work together to ensure that everyone in the Roma community in Sweden can live a life free from racism, prejudice, and discrimination?
⚡️Time: Breakfast from 7:45. Discussion from 8:15–9:00.
⚡️Location: Obeya, Brunkebergsgatan 10, Norrmalm.
Participants:
Amanda Lind, Minister for Culture and Democracy.
