Lack of contact reinforces harmful stereotypes. It’s time to end this. It’s time to get to know each other! ‘Let’s connect ’ is a unique social campaign like never before in Poland. By putting seven people from the Roma community in the spotlight, we show what the Roma community really is – diverse, proud of its culture and traditions, and ready for dialogue. We do not talk about Roma people for themselves – it is people of Roma origin who speak out, reclaiming the narrative about themselves.
Individuals who’ve taken part in the ’Let’s connect’ campaign are: Krzysztof Gil – an artist and academic lecturer from Krakow, Lucyna Styrkacz – a saleswoman from Chorzów, Delfin Łakatosz – a filmmaker from Poznań, Rada Sorochymska – a social organization employee from Ukraine, Monika Paloma Adler – an integration assistant from Przemyśl, Dawid Huczko – a helper for the refugee community from Ukraine, and Agata Róża Łakatosz – a poet and dancer from Poznań.
The ’Let’s connect’ campaign was implemented by the Foundation Towards Dialogue.
