On Friday the 5th of June, Community Renewal Rom Romeha was delighted to host a successful event at the Ramshorn in partnership with Heriot-Watt University as part of the Roma PlaceAge project.
Practitioners from across different sectors joined Roma community co-researchers to hear powerful stories and gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of Roma people in mid to later life. Through storytelling and co-production, participants explored practical ways to improve health, wellbeing, and quality of life for Roma community members aged 40+.
The event focused on building on the strengths that exist within the Roma community and identifying solutions shaped by the people they are intended to support. Guided by the principle of "Nothing About Us Without Us," the discussions highlighted the importance of working alongside Roma communities to create meaningful and lasting change.
Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, knowledge, and experience.
