Bobigny

Associated Partner Bobigny is a town situated in the Seine Saint Denis borough, (region of Ile de France), 6 km far from the Paris centre. The number of inhabitants is 48,156. Bobigny is a place receiving populations of the whole world, with a majority of people from the ancient French colonies.

The first Roma travellers arrived in Bobigny in the 1930s and they kept travelling until the economic changes made them stop travelling and settle in the 1980s. In the 2000s Romanian and Bulgarian Roma arrived, whose life conditions are particularly precarious. Bobigny aims to improve their life and health conditions and the experience gained through the learning and exchanges in Roma-Net will contribute to achieving this objective.
