5th International Conference – Safeguarding Romani Language to be Held at the Council of Europe, Strasbourg
Day 1 Livestream (November 5th) : https://shorturl.at/ssdfI
Day 2 Livestream (November 6th): https://shorturl.at/G2Wus
The event marks a vital part of ERIAC’s Romani Language Initiative, which began in June 2020 as part of the Roma Cultural History Initiative, supported by the German Federal Foreign Office. The conference gathers international experts in Romani language education, linguistics, and cultural heritage, uniting voices from academia, government, and community organizations to continue advancing the International Romani Language Reform. Together, they will explore strategies to preserve and promote the Romani language through the harmonization of Romani usage across borders.
Conference Highlights Include:
- In-depth panel discussions on language preservation and harmonization
- Insights into new teaching materials and language re-learning initiatives designed to support the Romani-speaking community
- Special focus on the significance of Romani language education, cultural identity, and language symbolism for Roma individuals and communities worldwide
- The official launch of Romani language books (A1, A2, B1), guided by key co-authors, with a particular emphasis on global accessibility and education
Every year, this conference represents an opportunity for cultural-political synthesis and collaboration. By bringing together Roma and non-Roma stakeholders, we’re building an enduring platform for the Romani language that supports the next generation and strengthens Roma identity through language.
This year, the Council of Europe and prominent universities are invited to participate, as ERIAC calls for further partnerships to advance the Romani Language Initiative on an international scale. The conference will be conducted in both Romani and English, with full interpretation services provided by the Council of Europe.
