The Uncanny X-Chavalem (Ultimate Roma Youth Exchange on Pop Culture and Scy Fi) is a project that aimed to set a precedent in the area of creative mobilization and empowerment of Roma youth. More than 40 Roma and non-Roma youngsters from Germany, Romania, Spain, Poland, Austria and Hungary had the opportunity to participate in the exchange that took part in Hungary from the 10th - 17th of May 2015, for a week, the youngsters had the unique opportunity of studying the history of the Roma community in the world of popular culture, comic books, books and science fiction films, also they were be able to develop a critical understanding on the history and the impact of the Roma people on the mainstream mass culture. Through debates, Living Role games, films, literary analysis and various activities we encouraged young people to develop complex thoughts about their own situation, we also invited them to develop creative responses to our common problems and needs. We hope in this way we promoted their individual empowerment and through this experience contributed to the process of emancipation of the Roma communities in Europe.
