No room for clichés - Jonny on life as a Sinti in Kiel

German Tales Romanes Video
In Kiel, Jonny Kreuzer shows how language, education and open spaces can break down prejudices and make Sinti culture visible.
Jonny, a Sinti person in Kiel, stands outside in front of houses and speaks into the camera.

Jonny is growing up bilingual – speaking German and Romani – and reports from Kiel on places like the Maru Temm housing project, where community takes shape and families feel safe. He talks about obstacles such as looking for housing based on surnames and everyday prejudice. But also about moments of welcome, when people listen openly. Culture is reflected in everyday life: music, large gatherings, Christian celebrations without an invitation. As an education advisor, he supports children, encourages them and advocates education instead of pigeonholing.
