#13: Extra episode: Revisit Romatopia

In the 12 episodes of this podcast, we talked to Roma from all over Europe - and beyond - about their lives, their experiences and their utopias. We have been surprised, challenged, inspired, entertained and gifted.
In this extra episode, we revisit our encounters with all these wonderful people, reminisce and discuss our own utopias.

In den 12 Folgen dieses Podcasts haben wir mit Roma aus ganz Europa - und darüber hinaus - über ihr Leben, ihre Erfahrungen und ihre Utopien gesprochen. Wir wurden überrascht, gefordert, inspiriert, unterhalten und beschenkt.

In dieser Extrafolge lassen wir die Begegnungen mit all den wunderbaren Menschen noch einmal Revue passieren, erinnern uns und diskutieren über unsere eigenen Utopien.
