Romani Cultural and Resource Centre – Representation, Inclusion and Equity for Helsinki

Proposal

Summary

Establish a Romani Cultural and Resource Centre to promote the inclusion, visibility and cultural heritage of the Romani community.

Proposal description

Finland still lacks a dedicated structure to support the Romani community’s inclusion and visibility. This proposal suggests creating a Romani Cultural and Resource Centre in Helsinki, introducing roles like Romani Liaison Officer, Youth Coordinator, and Cultural Advisor, and launching a Romani-language community radio. These actions would promote cultural heritage, improve access to services, and ensure better representation in Helsinki’s diverse urban life.
