This workshop will offer participants a comprehensive insight into the complexity of language that has been shaped over the centuries under the influence of different cultures.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop will combine theoretical knowledge with practical examples in order to bring the participants closer to the Romani language as a living and developing entity. The program includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Theoretical Framework:<\/strong> An exploration of the Indo-Aryan origins of the language, its route from India, and historical contacts with the Persian, Armenian, Greek, and Balkan languages, which led to today&#8217;s diversity of dialectal groups across Europe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multimedia Insight:<\/strong> Presentation of language through authentic audio and video materials. Participants will watch animated films dubbed in different dialects and listen to fairy tales with &#8220;Radio Romano&#8221;, which will show how the language is used in modern everyday life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practical workshop (Master class):<\/strong> The final part of the meeting will be dedicated to practical work, where participants will learn basic vocabulary, greetings, simple sentence constructions and rules for reading and pronunciation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The trainer is <strong>Janush Panchenko<\/strong>, a renowned expert on Roma history, culture and language and a research associate at the Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
