As a gratitude for the special contribution in the realization of this year's 18th Golden Film Festival "Golden Wheel 2021" which took place at the beginning of this week, the director of the festival Zoran Dimov personally in the premises of the Film Fund of Macedonia awarded him the Plaque for special contribution in its realization by the director of the Fund Mr. Bojan Lazarevski.
Mr. Lazarevski expressed gratitude and stressed that in the future this institution will meet and assist in the implementation of activities related to Roma engagements in the field of film and film industry.
Roma do not have to pay for medicines, have free entrance to the pool, some want to limit the health care of the elderly, and the lymph node parasite appears in the curtains and respirators. Examples of some fake news that are currently spreading an avalanche on social networks. Zdenik Ryazav, director of the non-profit organization Romea, and Janusz Koniechni, an analyst at the Czech Pirate Party, accepted the invitation for discussion. Both have long dealt with the topic of misinformation and related fraud. "We can explain to people indefinitely to check the sources, but that is not enough. In some situations, we need to intervene. We can then face charges of censorship. But is it censorship or self-defense? ", Mentioned Zdenik Ryazav in the discussion.Pirates often react to misinformation, but they themselves have become a common target in recent months. According to Janusz Koniechni, this is probably related to the party's success in the election polls.
"I think that some measures can help reduce misinformation, for example, social networks can better cooperate with the police and the public prosecutor's office," said Janusz Koniechni.
I am the positive example and chance to say that there is a possible mission to be successful as a Roma person, in some non-Roma environments. Over here we have a perception to be mono-ethnic – we have NGOs which only have Roma people, media with only one or other ethnic community. That is why I say that I am one of the rare examples where I worked in a multi-ethnic community. I don’t work inside of the Roma community, I don’t only work for Roma issues, yes, I do fight for the rights of the Roma and against discrimination, but we also fight for the rights of the LGBT community, for the rights of the women, rights of the Macedonians, Albanians, Turks, said Dehran Muratov, a journalist and civil rights activist during his Morning Briefing.
We have progress. It is visible. One of our projects and commitments are the battles against hybrid threats and false news, misinformation and hate speech. During the Eurovision song contest there was a status which said “the little gypsy girl that got married for Belgium – grew up”, implying to the presenter from Belgium which presented the results, hinting to an unfortunate event and gives the perception that every Roma girl gets married at the age of 12, 13, 15 years. But what is a statistic is the fact that many young Roma women have high education, unlike the men, but that is not presented and said in the media. If we want to be one step away from Europe and if we truly want to be a part of Europe and to be citizens of Europe, we have to start abandoning that concept of favoring ethnicity and nationalism, and instead of that to return and once again see the meaning of respecting cultural differences and respect the abilities of the people. The work of certain human being should be a priority, and after that the ethnicity. That is why I say, maybe I am one of the rare people which was never asked about his ethnicity, says Muratov.
There is no greater reward for a professor when his student who has a mess at home in the Croatian language on the topic "My happy place in life" will write that his happy place is exactly the cabinet of art culture. The girl who for a while suffered from peer violence, and was thinking of leaving school today is a small but cheerful girl full of self-confidence. It is a great pleasure for me to contribute in some way to my work with that girl, "said Ida Domishljanovic, professor of art at the primary school in Kursanec Cakovec. It is one of the few schools in Croatia where out of 429 students even over 80% are Roma children, and show very good success
