Summary (goals and purposes of the project)
The main goal of ROM-UP! is to create an International Roma Network aimed at raising awareness of the successful educational experiences that have already been scientifically proven to be effective in the promotion of the social integration of Roma children and all the students in general, in terms of pursuing educational success.
The specific objectives of the project are:
• Disseminating successful educational experiences in promoting Roma education;
• Developing strategies to carry out successful actions in the participating countries (Spain, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania and Ireland);
• Involving Roma in the selection of good educational practices carried out in their communities;
• Establishing networks of coordination between the coordination, Roma communities and education agents in order to overcome Roma educational exclusion.
Results of the project
