KASKOSAN’S MISSION

KaskoSan, founded by East European Roma living in the UK, works with the East European Roma community both digitally and offline since 2009. In collaboration with dedicated partners, we produce cultural content and consultancy. Our films, dramas, art performances and Romani language and cultural workshops aim to inspire critical thinking in terms of Roma inclusion and develop ways to maximize engagement. 

Most Romani speakers and their descendants are subjects of anti-gypsy views and remain disengaged by Roma inclusion initiatives, while an overwhelming majority of Romani Gypsies carry on dealing with the multi-generational trauma of anti-gypsyism, isolation, mental ill-health, and intense poverty.

KaskoSan has been nurturing ‘Romanipe’, the emerging global Roma identity, since 2009 in central and Eastern Europe and since 2014 in the U.K. We have been growing a pro-active and self-assertive community that is proudly reclaiming its culture to erase centuries of misinformation about Romani speakers and their descendants.

OUR VALUES

Think Big. Act Bigger.

Education

With or without the Covid-19 pandemic, KaskoSan will always stand for mainstream educational achievements in order to break anti-Gypsyism, the legacy of the 500 years of ‘Gypsy slavery’, the longest and the last form of legal slavery in modern day history.

Connectivity

Many Roma households lack appropriate devices, ICT skills and a broadband connection. To access healthcare, housing, work, benefits and home learning resources, KaskoSan is supporting Roma both online and offline.

Health

Service users advise KaskoSan that they face prejudices when accessing healthcare services and the mental and physical health deterioration stemming from the harsh consequences of migrant life often remain unaddressed in the U.K.

Safety

In 2008, KaskoSan was the first to recognise that the Internet is the only safe space for Roma to celebrate ‘romanipe’, the Roma cultural values. Roma are often subjects of bullying, discrimination as well as modern slavery which is challenged by KaskoSan through its online and offline events.

Beyond the Gatekeepers: Reclaiming Romani Languages, Identities and Opportunities

On World Romani Language Day 2026, Juice Vamosi reflects on Romani languages, identity, representation and power across the international Roma movement. Drawing on nearly four decades of interpreting, translation and community work, he challenges institutional gatekeeping and asks whose languages, knowledge and voices truly shape Roma inclusion. Are we celebrating Romani while excluding its speakers from meaningful participation and leadership? **Recognition is not the same as empowerment.**
