Dear Romani Early Years Network member,
After two years of REYN operation, REYN and ISSA plan to organize a 1 ½ day annual meeting on 8-9 October 2014, in Budapest, Hungary, right before the ISSA International Conference which will take place between 10-12 October ( for more information about the conference: http://www.issa2014.hu/).
Within the meeting days we would like to take stock of the activities conducted in the past years under the REYN and strengthen the REYN membership through learning activities on critical issues related to ECEC and young Romani and Traveller children, families and communities. More about this you can find in the document 2.Brief_description _REYN_meeting and ISSA conference
