"Wo ist Zigeunerland" ("Where is Gypsy-Land?") is an Internet project to spread knowledge about the history and culture of Roma (Rroma) and Sinti, the people otherwise dubbed Gypsies, Gitans, Gitanos, Czigany, Zigeuner etc. who constitute the greatest national minority in Europe. This group is still subject to open and hidden discrimination, often harassed and even assaulted physically. In order to help dissolve prejudice and to counter the allegations spread by racist groups and political parties it is necessary to spread knowledge about this people's history and to offer insight into their culture and ways of life.

Participants will be asked to translate this web project into as many languages as possible, similar to http://www.peaculture.net, a web project that has been translated into more than 20 languages so far.
