I am Enzo from Italy. Starting with where I am now, and going
\nback to my early years, I will walk you through my journey to become the person I am today. I will share notable moments in my life \u2013 exploring the events that made me strong and introducing you to the individuals who supported me through-out the many challenges I faced on my journey.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am proud to be Roma, of who I am now, and of my dream to grow. I work for a project called \u201cYoung Roma, Builders of Hope.\u201d I provide school support to Roma children and organize trainings and events to raise awareness about Roma issues.<\/p>\n
But, that\u2019s not it. I wear many hats! I also tutor and accompany young people through the judicial system and on pathways to employment and social integration.<\/p>\n
When I was 29, I received a bachelor\u2019s degree in languages and educational sciences. After graduation, I decided to go ahead with my studies and enrolled in a master’s course for pedagogical sciences.<\/p>\n
At the age of 15, I left my high school. I started a two-year training program at a
\nprofessional school. In addition to this, I began volunteering for the same association that supported me when I was young.<\/p>\n
During primary school, a local NGO supported me. I was a talented student. Still, I faced many difficulties due to my Roma origins. At the beginning of secondary school, I was placed in a same group as all the other Roma pupils. Nevertheless, I succeeded in establishing positive relationships with some of the non-Roma pupils.<\/p>\n
From ages three to six, I regularly attended an informal home-based early childhood center. I enjoyed the company of the other children.<\/p>\n
Even if many Italians believe that all Roma are not Italian, I am. I was born in Italy to Italian parents. Thanks to my citizenship, I was able to access basic services for early childhood and live in a council house with my big family.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2398,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-23"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reynbg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reynbg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reynbg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reynbg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reynbg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2397"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/reynbg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2397\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3849,"href":"https:\/\/reynbg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2397\/revisions\/3849"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reynbg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reynbg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reynbg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reynbg.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
