Publications

We are pleased to announce the publication of our new training guide titled "Training Guide for Community Researchers: The Case of the RomaPlaceAge Project." This comprehensive resource is designed to support co-researchers in effectively engaging with the RomaPlaceAge initiative. Released in January 2025, the guide provides valuable insights and practical tools tailored for community-focused research.

We encourage academics and practitioners to utilise this guide when delivering community research or co-researcher initiatives. We look forward to hearing from anyone who has applied or used it as a resource within their work. To access the guide, click here.

You can also explore our Romanian and Czech training packs developed from a two-day workshop with our co-researchers. These packs include interview scenarios, role-play exercises, and interview agendas in Romanian and Czech. These packs can be downloaded here:

Reports

RomePlaceAge held three stakeholder events (Knowledge Cafés) to discuss issues, challenges, and possible solutions that affect older Roma in Govanhill, Luton, and Peterborough, respectively. The reports from these events can be accessed by clicking on the relevant links below:

All three events were very insightful and could not have been a success without the support from our project partners at Govanhill, Luton, and Peterborough, as well as the invaluable contributions from the participants at each site.
