Description

The project aims to support the education of Roma students from socially disadvantaged groups by providing better conditions for the educational process, spread information and raise awareness about their values.This project is necessitated because of the social situation at the school, affected by the high percentage of students in poverty, mainly from low-stimulating social disadvantaged environment. We wish through getting to know traditions and values to purposefully grow the relationship of pupils to assets, both own and foreign and convince them, that only the path of knowledge will lead them to better future. The project output is to bring ethnic history and traditions, to implement the elements of the Roma culture into school classes, through subjects such as “Realities of Roma” and “Roma language and literature” as well as to bring important representatives at school. To improve the social incision and reducing the inequalities working together with parents we will create a set of school subjects and interesting units, activities, and excursions.
