The Romani Early Years Network, an initiative of ISSA, in partnership with the Roma Studies Groups (CEG) at CREA – University of Barcelona, organized an event to launch infographics with country data from the REYN Early Childhood Research Study on the status of young Roma children in Europe.

The event started with opening speeches by Manuela Fernández, Director of the Office of Equal Treatment and Non-Discrimination, Government of Catalunya, and Liana Ghent, Executive Director of ISSA.

Main findings of the research were shared by the CREA team, Fernando Macías-Aranda and Emilia Aiello.

The event was facilitated by Aljosa Rudas, REYN Coordinator and Junior Program Office, International Step by Step Association.

The REYN Early Childhood Study, carried out with the financial support of the Open Society Foundations, sheds light on young Roma and Traveller children and their parents throughout Europe. The study brings together unprecedented Roma-related early childhood data from eleven countries. It catalyzes solid evidence for urgent and effective policies and programs enabling each young Roma child to reach his/her full potential – to grow and thrive!
