Late Messages


A message that will never be answered any more. What message would you send to someone who has passed away? Write it down! These are the messages of the Roma Heroes workshop's participants to the loved ones who are not with them any more. What would you add? Who would you address it to?

1.You do not age any more
You stand still
Thinking I'm a high school student
But in fact I work!

2.I look most like you
I drive angrily
And I throw tantrums a lot
I hope you can also see it from there

3. I don't know how old you are 
Your memory is greyness 
Your flowers are beautiful 
You never forget about them! 

------------------  
1.Is gone, doesn't exist
The words hang in the air
I cannot find the door handle
Mummy, I'm gay!

2. Birth, death
Leaf, dream, move
Incomplete eternity
Daddy, hold my daughter in your arms!

3. Moveless monotony. 
Death stumbles without farewell 
Last minute no 
I keep you in my mind.
_ _ _

There is nothing left but fury
And a photo at Lake Balaton.
Endless longing.
Father’s love to the daughter.

You were buried alive.
Countless attempts
Always hitting hard walls.
But you are alive, there is hope.
Maybe there will be mercy
Daughter’s love to the father.

_ _ _

Because you said
Every marriage is like this
And mom stayed,
Granny why didn't you talked to her?

I never live in-up-out
I thought clean-wit-belligerently
Then it changed
If I can send a letter to the past
There would be no worries

_ _ _

Granny you are dead.
You didn't see your grandchild.
You didn't bake cakes for her.
I have no memories with you.

Tales are dumb,
'Cause you don't read them.
Even death can't do without you.
But I need you, too. I miss you!

Camp Hero

Is media for or against us? In what way does the media affect today? How can an article which is written for help change people's destiny? “The neighbours of the Roma camp in District X brought to our attention that for a few weeks now the people in the community have stopped using the public fountain which was the only water source they had. We went to the camp to investigate this mystery and found out that Viorica, ¨the man of the day¨, built a pipe system that fuels every household with water. The authorities should know, because this is an illegal act and the Roma are basically stealing water from the tax-paying citizens.” - Rome Daily The journalist goes to the camp to show Viorica the article she wrote and to congratulate her for becoming the camp hero. Viorica: But in this article you say that we are doing an illegal thing. Journalist: Yes, but I also helped you get to the authorities and made your problem public. Nobody would have done this for you....

The Perfect Grandma

We all need role models, heroes in our life whose acts and qualities serve as examples. Sometimes it takes time to realize that real heroes are all around us. Find your own hero! Oh, my darling granny. She loved us, her family, she did whatever she could for us. She was a vibrant ball of energy. She rushed from one grandchild to the other whole day long. She helped with household chores, made jam, cooked our favorite granny-cakes like no one else. She often told us about our badass grandpa and she kept loving, loving and loving. Words cannot express what she means to me even today. No doubt she had a huge impact both on my mother and me. We got the love and solidarity of the family from her. She lived her life with sacrifices and an everlasting smile on her face, she lived for us and for our happiness. We learned only after her death that besides everyday care, she had a secret that she never told anyone. A stray paper found after her death revealed this secret. My grandm...

I am too young to be ‘your Gypsy’

Everyone has an important role in modern day societies to challenge the stereotypes of Gypsies, Roma and Travellers, regardless of nationality, we all have a collective responsibility. Furthermore, it is the duty of Romani people to preserve their identities and I acknowledge that it means something different to every single one of us, as we are Europe’s biggest and most diverse minority group! I was brought up with my mother and my siblings in a small village called Simonfa in South of Hungary. Before starting primary school, my mother told me that I had to study twice as hard than any other child in the classroom. Her advice has stuck with me since. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to become a lawyer, because I wanted to help vulnerable people to provide a platform for their their voices to be heard, to deliver justice to them. At the age of 14, I moved to Budapest to start my secondary education in a Christian high school. Shortly after my final...
