The Academy of Fine Arts in Prague hoisted the flag of the Romani people alongside the national flag of the Czech Republic on its main building on 8 April. This date marks International Roma Day. In doing so, the Academy expresses its respect for our Roma students, staff, and prospective applicants.

The flag was raised in response to an initiative by students and teachers of the Department of Romani Studies at the Institute of Ethnology and Central European and Balkan Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University. A list of participating universities and further information about the event can be found on this website.
