A JU research team from the Institute of Psychology comprising Krystian Barzykowski, Halina Grzymała-Moszczyńska, Joanna Grzymała-Moszczyńska, Magdalena Kosno, and Daniel Dzida, in collaboration with the Centre for Education Development, have qualified to the final stage of the European Roma Spirit Award.
Our scholars have been nominated in the Company, Organisation and Employer category in recognition of their accomplishment and active efforts in strengthening of Roma integration, support and development of Roma minority and for spreading a positive message of tolerance and understanding.
The European Roma Spirit Award was initiated by the Association for Culture, Education, and Communication (ACEC), Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, and the Office of the Plenipotentiary of the Slovak Government for Roma Communities as a platform for highlighting positive contributions focused on the social inclusion of the Roma people. The project aims to promote active efforts in improving the situation and fostering social integration of the Roma, Europe’s largest and most excluded ethnic minority. ERSA is a response to the challenges of meaningfully integrating and promoting social justice for the Roma community. Its main objective is to inspire an intercultural dialogue, cooperation and solidarity across Europe, with an emphasis on public engagement to promote positive attitudes and effective cross-national challenges.
