All people have prejudices. These become problematic when they lead to people being devalued, marginalised or discriminated against. Gerardo Palacios Borjas addresses this issue in his photo exhibition. The focus is on the individual person: the portraits invite us to recognise the individual in every person and to treat everyone with the same empathy and openness.

And what can ‘Gadje’, i.e. non-Roma*, contribute to this?

The far right on the rise?!

Target group: Professional and voluntary actors from institutions, civil society organisations and authorities in the city and district of Lüneburg as well as interested parties.

Institutions such as the authorities, police, social work, schools and the media are important from two perspectives. On the one hand, Sinti* and Roma* experienced serious injustice at their hands. On the other hand, in terms of equal rights and protection against racial discrimination, they are important players in improving participation and reducing antigypsyism. But what can institutions do about it?
