Combating anti-Gypsyism and discrimination in its diverse forms and supporting access to inclusive quality education constitute two of the priority areas of the Council of Europe’s Strategic Action Plan for Roma and Traveller Inclusion (2020-2025).

Knowledge of the history and culture of Roma and Travellers is still marginal or inexistent among the general public and this misreading highly contributes to the discriminations these populations are faced with.

Highlighting the legacy of Roma and Travellers to European societies through the means culture, arts and history is necessary and urgent. Educational policies on minorities are urgent.

Sead Kazanxhiu illustrated book Romani legends and fairy tales (trilingual version: Albanian, English, Romani and French version) is an important contribution to the acknowledgement and the understanding of Roma culture, for Roma and other children and for the population in general.
