Mission

Romani Yag is a non-profit organisation, founded by Ljuba Radman in 2004 in Montreal. Its mission is to promote Romani («Gypsy») culture by presenting events which bring together arts and information about the Roma people to the public. Its aim is to confront preconceived notions and negative stereotypical images about Roma – that are based on a misunderstanding of this nation – which are too often reinforced and promoted by mainstream media. Romani Yag also aims to encourage friendly dialogue and creative co-operation between Roma and other nations in a spirit of inclusion and promotion of diversity within and outside the great variety of Romani communities.
