The Amaro Foro Association in Berlin is working to raise awareness of discrimination against Roma by organizing workshops where journalists can develop greater intercultural sensitivity.
It also conducts awareness-raising campaigns on Roma discrimination.
- Journalists label people as Roma only when they match a certain pre-conceived image, for example when reporting on an informal camp in a park. It is problematic for journalists to focus on such stories, which creates a distorted image of the Roma.
The organization asked the German media to publish more positive stories about the Roma. In addition, they hope that more Roma journalists will give space to their community to tell their stories.
