Fulbright Student Project Publishes Together We Dream: Roma in Eastern Hungary

This book is a culmination of nine months of work with the Real Pearl Foundation (Igazgyöngy Alapítvány), during which Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Larissa Peltola ’18 interacted and conducted interviews with the community members of Told and Berettyóújfalu, Hungary

“The goal of this book is to explore the beauty of Roma identities in Eastern Hungary through interviews with Roma speaking on their own terms about their lives, the challenges they face and the dreams that they hold for themselves, their families, their communities, and their country. Through this book, I hope that each reader will be inspired to support Roma causes in Europe, challenge and question pre-conceived notions of the Roma, and celebrate the beauty of their communities, as well as our shared and collective identity as human beings. I hope that we can all embrace the fact that, as human beings, we have more to connect us than to divide us.”

Fulbright Hungary is proud of its Roma English Teaching Assistant projects:

and hopes to expand and continue collaboration with the Roma Residential Colleges and other foundations throughout Hungary in upcoming academic years.
