ERRC Continues Cooperation with the Swedish Ombudsman against Ethnic Discrimination for Human Rights Training of Roma in Sweden

Summary/Abstract: In November 2004 the ERRC travelled to Sweden on a five-day programme of initiatives that involved a presentation on Roma rights and the ERRC work at the University of Uppsala, a presentation on testing as a method to prove racial/ethnic discrimination for lawyers at the Office of the Swedish Ombudsman against Ethnic Discrimination, and a two-and-a-half day training on Roma Rights and Advocacy for a diverse group of Romani activists at the Roma Cultural Centre in Stockholm. This was part of an earlier arrangement between the ERRC and the Ombudsman’s office that saw members of the ERRC staff conducting a similar initiative in September 2003.2 The 2004 programme was well received and appreciated by the various audiences and groups that attended and the ERRC and the Ombudsman’s office are currently developing similar programmes to be implemented in 2005.
