Public Panel Discussion: "No Child Left Behind: Digital Poverty & Roma Child Poverty" 2nd June

, ,

On 2nd June, Eurodiaconia are hosting a Public Panel Discussion on Zoom on the vital and timely topic of: "No Child Left Behind: Digital Poverty & Roma Child Poverty."

As part of a British Council some years ago, I was privileged to be able to work alongside teachers working with Roma families and saw the life changing work being done by Christian groups with other agencies, to ensure equality of access to education. The work I undertook was in UK, Spain and Romania, as part of a Grundtvig project.

This Europe-wide panel discussion, coming up next week, will highlight some of the key issues facing Roma children today with regards to lack of access to digital and other technologies which are used in educational delivery. (NB - event starts 9am UK time, 10am Brussels time)

Praying today and all week, for racial justice


Churches Together in England joined on 25 May 2021 for #CandleOfJustice: a moment of action – commemorating the first anniversary of George Floyd’s murder. We are encouraged to continue throughout this week, and in the times to come, to pray and work together for racial justice.

“O God, the creator of the human race, we thank you for the wonder of our being and for creating us in your image and likeness. Open our hearts to give unconditional positive regard to all human beings, seeing each other as having the same needs, and build a world where freedom, justice, love, truth, unity, and peace prevail. Let no negative perception inform our judgement of other people. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.”
— Fr Mark Odion, Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales

“On 25th May, we joined our friends from @ChurchesEngland, on the anniversary of George Floyd's murder, to light a #candleofjustice and pray that God's justice would be seen and for hearts to be changed by His love,” says the Free Churches Group.

Join us in the days to come as we pray together.
