Our work

Projects & activities

ternYpe works to ensure that Roma young people can participate, lead and influence the decisions affecting their lives. Our work begins with the experiences of Roma youth and communities and connects these realities with action at local, national and European levels. While each project has its own objectives, all our work contributes to a shared purpose: building a strong and united Roma youth movement across Europe.

Dikh He Na Bister

Dikh He Na Bister (DHNB) is a Roma youth-led memory initiative that brings together young Roma and non-Roma from all around Europe to learn about the Roma Holocaust, increase youth engagement, and unite against antigypsyism. During a week-long programme, participants engage in seminars, debates, educational activities, and interactions with survivors, activists, and other young people, connecting historical remembering to present human rights issues. The programme concludes on August 2nd, European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day, when participants gather to remember the Roma Holocaust victims. Over time, DHNB has grown into a space for commemoration, learning, and empowerment, uniting generations and ensuring that Roma Holocaust survivors' memories and experiences endure and live, while encouraging young Roma to find their voices and help define the future of the Roma youth movement.
