This series aims to raise awareness about the genocide of the Roma, and its impact on past and current Roma generations.
This project aims to contribute to the effort to give the diverse Roma communities across Europe a strong, united voice on this topic as a tool for self-empowerment. Only an empowered Roma community can reverse the situation of poverty and persecution many of them live in. An essential part of that sense of cohesion is a more profound knowledge of the shared Roma past, of which the genocide in WWII is an essential factor.
The programs are also promoted via terrestrial and online radio broadcasts, including live discussions with various guests, and questions and comments from the audience. In addition, the project wants to contribute to the set-up process of a transnational European Roma broadcasting network, combining Europe’s Roma community- and state radio broadcasters into one web-radio network, promoting identity building and self-empowerment.
The choice of new media as the project’s format was based on the different preferences and profiles within our target groups. A combination of traditional media (terrestrial radio broadcasting) and online media (including social media) allow a much faster and broader dissemination of our content presented by the series.
The series consist of episodes produced in 12 regions around Europe (see the map). Each program covers different aspects of- and facts about the genocide of the Roma, as well as its impact on Roma populations today, starting from local events of importance for the local communities. The production involves local Roma communities, Roma media professionals, and local and international expert historians.
Each program is composed of audio and video podcasts, and additional educational materials and tools.
In addition, a particular string of the Tajsa.eu episodes, titled “Voices”, is focusing on standpoints and opinions of European Roma about their experiences and current challenges.
The series is presented on this online platform, where each episode of the program is presented on its own separate page. Through its web-based nature, the platform will be open to the general public anywhere in the world. A particular social media strategy will promote the series to the general audiences and provide tools for further sharing.
