The conference on the « Roma Issue in Europe today » which took place in Tours in March was a major event of Urba-Rom over the last months. Documents and recordings are online now. A conference related to the Nantes workshop (January, 2011) took place on May 12th and 13th in Perpignan. This event dealt mainly with the schooling of the Gypsies of Perpignan. Another workshop is planned on June 21st, 2011 in Barcelona. It will begin comparing the local policies towards Roma migrants in Spain and in France. Moreover, we are discussing with the Fondation Abbé Pierre the feasibility of organizing a workshop about the processes of integration of Roma migrants in France in October.
Finally, many of us have responded to a funding call from the City of Paris. Our proposal deals with beginning a comparative work on the interactions between the local policies and the activities of Roma migrants in precarious situations in three metropolitan areas: Paris, Milan and Barcelona.
