After a successful first training cycle in 2012-2013, a new group of Roma, Gypsies and Travellers will start the ROMED Training of Mediators in Manchester from 26 to 29 March. Around 25 trainee mediators from all over the United Kingdom will participate, together with representatives from employers, local and national authorities and NGOs. Organised once again in cooperation with our dedicated UK training team, as well as the Advisory Council for the Education of Romany and other Travellers (ACERT), ROMED National Focal Point for the United Kingdom, a number of trained mediators from the first cycle will return to share their experiences and demonstrate how they have put into practice their acquired knowledge one year on from completion of their training.

Le 12 et 13 mars 2014, ROMED2 a été officiellement lancé à Lisbonne, Portugal lors d'un événement où se sont rendus les représentants des municipalités, les médiateurs et les facilitateurs dans les groups d'action communautaire de huit municipalités: Beja, Figueria do Foz, Coimbra, Seixal, Elvas, Moura, Abrantes et Barcelos, dont plusieurs ont exprimé et signé leur engagement dans la mise en oeuvre du programme. Le lancement a été suivi par un atelier national où les mêmes acteurs se sont réunis pour discuter de la mise en oeuvre de ROMED2 dans les huits municipalités dans les mois à venir.
