Summary (goals and purposes of the project)
The primary aim of the project is to create conditions that would allow the members of the Roma community to escape the vicious circle of social exclusion. This circle could only be broken by adequate investments in social and cultural capital in the environments, populated by the members of the respective community. The project highlights education as the most efficient way out. Its objectives are to increase the level of education of the Roma community members and to raise awareness about the significance of education as the fundamental factor in the progress of the community.
The following activities were carried out within the project:
• a survey and evaluation of the far completed projects and work in the field of Roma education
• a spatial and demographic analysis of the environments, populated by the members of Roma community
• promotion and implementation of different educational activities for pre-school children and their families
• the establishment of Roma Education Incubators in the areas inhabited with Roma population
• elementary and secondary level school assistance, and other activities aimed at improving the integration of Roma children into the educational process
• the preparation, organization and implementation of the sustainable teacher training, and the training of social and other expert workers for working with Roma children and adolescents
• the development and implementation of extracurricular programmes and leisure time activities for children, youth and parents in the environments populated by the members of the Roma community
• transnational networking and exchange of best practices in the field of Roma education
