The debate will be dedicated to Romophobia, which alongside anti-Semitism and Islam-ophobia is a form of neo-racism. It is an example of widespread "racism without a race". The concepts of race in this case do not function as long-discredited biological categories, but as divisions based on cultural, economic and social differences.
This will be the last debate in a series entitled "Invisible Neighbourhoods", which aims to build a platform for cooperation and discussion on issues related to neighbourhoods, rac-ism, education, and various forms of exclusion.
