Abstract

The article presents Romani Studies Seminar, a unique university department at the Charles University. The uniqueness of this university unit lies precisely in the fact that it is the oldest institution worldwide offering a complex BC and MA study program focused on the language, history, and culture of the Roma at university level.

It continues to be one of the few university institutions that take the language of the Roma as the basis of the study, providing not only the possibility to study the language as a medium of communication, but also focusing on other aspects of its development and existence today, all this in combination with courses on the history, culture, arts and other aspects of the life of the Roma.
