Initiative and campaign to establish a KUD for young Roma from Nis

The campaign leader calls "Roma without KUD have nowhere to go!" is the Roma World Production organization and this is the first campaign independently launched by a Roma association in our country.

15,000 Roma live in Nis, but there is no institution that deals with the preservation of language, tradition and culture - through dance, music, song. The formation of KUD would contribute to connecting young Roma and getting to know them about their origin, traditional Roma music, folklore and customs.

Rom World Production reminds that this role was played by cultural and artistic societies.

Niš has a well-known and long history of cultural and artistic activity through the "Roma" society, which has been continuously active for 30 years. but unfortunately it ceased to exist 25 years ago. For years, Niš KUD "Roma" has been the organizer of the show of cultural achievements of the Roma from all over the former Yugoslavia, for which there are numerous archival materials.

"Roma without KUD have nowhere to go!" is one of the seven best ideas and projects of civil society organizations from all over Serbia, which passed the educational program of Loud Crowd association with the support of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.

About 3,000 euros are needed to establish a KUD.

What does the color of the passport say about the country

The COLOR of the passport is not just an aesthetic choice, but reflects the deeper connections between a nation, its history and values.

The choice of passport color is a reflection of tradition, identity and politics that gives each passport its unique stamp and tells the story of the country behind it.

In a world where passports serve as keys to global travel, these colors are symbols that transcend linguistic and cultural boundaries, reminding us that our identities are as diverse as the colors we choose to represent our nations.

On the world stage, passports can be found in four basic colors: red, blue, green and black. Each color has its own historical and cultural background, which reflects the political, geographical and even economic characteristics of the country

Red - the color of Europe

Red or burgundy passports are typical for countries that are members or want to become members of economic communities. The European Union thus has in its ranks the majority of countries whose passports are red. This group also includes Turkey, which aspires to become a member of the EU, and Switzerland, whose red passport corresponds to the colors of the Swiss flag. The red passport is sometimes associated with the socialist past, as is the case in Russia and China, where the color red symbolizes the working class and solidarity.

Blue - the shade of the new world

Blue passports are the most widely used in the world. This color is often associated with countries that want to symbolize a new beginning or a connection to the sea. The United States has had blue passports since 1976, which corresponds to the color of its national flag. Countries such as Canada, Australia and many in the European Union use blue passports for their elegance and official appearance.

Green - a symbol of Islam

Green passports are often associated with the Islamic faith. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Morocco use green passports because of their religious significance, as the color green represents nature and is mentioned in the Koran. In addition, green passports symbolize natural resources and environmental wealth in countries such as Nigeria and Mexico.

Black - rare for a reason

Black passports are rare and are considered practical because they hide dirt well and create a nice contrast with the coat of arms. The black color of the New Zealand passport is the national color to reflect their Maori culture. Similarly, Finland uses black passports as an expression of its minimalist aesthetic. Some African countries such as Angola and Malawi also use dark shades of black for their passports for security reasons.

In Appleby, England, the largest Roma and travel fair in Europe took place

As every summer for the last hundred years, the Appleby Horse Fair was held in the small town of Appleby-in-Westmorland in the northwestern English region of Cumbria from June 6 to 12, which gathered between ten and thirty thousand people from all over Europe. The fair is primarily designed as a gathering place for Roma and Travelers, but a large part of the visitors are curious tourists.

According to the organizers in the report, this year's Fair went according to plan and without major incidents. The main fair activities took place on Fair Hill and Market Field, especially during the central day on Saturday 8 June, and the most memorable images are already traditionally associated with the bathing of the horses in the River Eden. Prizes are awarded for the healthiest and happiest horses and their owners to promote appropriate treatment of animals. In addition to the trade in horses and various supplies related to their keeping, the Fair gathers other traditional trades and professions: makers of tools, dishes, clothes, musicians and makers of musical instruments, palm readers and fortune tellers.
