On March 29, 2022, the Center for the Study of Democracy held a national seminar on "Training of Professionals and Empowerment of Roma Communities". The webinar took place within the framework of the international initiative Latcho Drom: Fighting against anti-gypsyism through training of professionals and empowerment of Roma communities. This initiative aims to reduce discriminations against Roma and Sinti communities in Italy, facilitating their full social inclusion.

Training materials and recommendations on the topic, developed within the LATCHO DROM project, were presented.
