Description
The objective of the project "School for pupils" is to develop conditions, particularly human and professional resources for a high-quality intercultural education programs through education of Roma realities, but also to develop inclusive education. The projects aims at improving the social inclusion of Roma children by developing a positive attitude towards education, responsibilities, social and cultural values as well as raising awareness of their own value and the need of integration into society. To achieve that we will incorporate in our curricula as optional subject for all pupils "Roma realities teaching". The subject will give space to ensure developing of pupil’s literacy by increasing the level of interactivity in the classroom, which is a perquisite for the purchase of computer equipment, literature, educational and other materials. Interaction will lies within teaching Roma history though games, quizzes, experimental exercises and various musical exercises such as singing, playing musical instruments, organizing theater plays and various events and performances.
Summary of project results
The project has been a great benefit for students and school staff, as the school is attended by 1/3 of students from marginalized Roma communities. The students knew very little about their past, did not know the history, traditions, customs and traditions of the Roma. in the area where they live, Roma children do not use their mother tongue and have known it from only the older generation. The project have familiarized them with the history of Roma, their customs and traditions in general, and in teh area where they live has a rich tradition also Roma crafts such as basketry which are only known by some old Roma in the village. As part of events organized by school during the project also parents actively participated in various school events, what has improved the cooperation between schools and parents, grandparents and pupils. Despite the fact that the parents are not interested normallyin life at school, those project events were very interested for them and they welcomed other similar events in the future.
