Description
The project is focused on children aged from 3 to 15 (the majority of the target group is Roma children) in three localities of Pardubice region. The project responds to a situation where we still have children who don''t have access to pre-school education. Thus, there are significant differences in entering primary education. Based on our experience, these differences deepen during the educational process, which often ends in children''s failure, which in general leads to the incapability to finish primary school. Based on our work with the target group, we know that if we start on time, these children and their parents will be successful in the educational process as well as in social ties, and find their place in society.
The aim of the project is the implementation of a key activity - Preschool Education - to facilitate children from the Roma minority to enter the first grade of elementary school. The second activity - School Preparation Help - will prevent unsuccessful beginnings in school attendance. The additional activities will increase the quality of life of children and parents. For each locality, the position of a pedagogue and a local advisor will be established. They will implement the key activities and cooperate with other representatives.
The project will be realized in a partnership with kindergartens and primary schools in Chrudim, Hrochův Týnec (Čankovice) and Vysoké Mýto. Cooperation with these partners will remove barriers between children and their parents on the one hand and teachers on the other. We would like to achieve that parents of children living in socially excluded localities would be able to be partners in the process of educating their children, understanding, and being aware of the value of education. From the perspectives of the majority (teachers), we want these children to be accepted and evaluated without prejudice, as well as to treat their parents in the same way.
