Learning activity details

Our project aims to address this question: In a time of ultra-connectivity, with access to infinite information at our fingertips, why do we still lack a basic level of communication with and understanding of our neighbors? In each of our countries, we have a fairly large population of Roma peoples. Yet, at our schools and in our larger communities, we have little to no communication with this demographic. By focusing on weddings, pictures, and interactions with our counterparts we hope to find out the real story about our neighbors and in the process dispel many myths that persist in our countries.
