Description

The project aims to increase the impact of the social measures addressed to vulnerable Roma communities in three localities in Mureș County. The main target groups of the project are 387 children and young people and 688 adults (all belonging to the communities of Viisoara, Zagar and Tarnaveni), who will benefit from personalized socio-educational services. The main objectives of the provided services are to increase the quality of education and school performances of the children, whereas the adults will benefit from increased chances on the labour market. The services for children and young people will be carried out in the day centers, through school-after-school programs, while adults will benefit from counseling and vocational and parental guidance services for a period of 18 months. The project also includes an anti-discrimination campaign to reduce discrimination against members of Roma communities. Combating discrimination and promoting equal opportunities and diversity will be horizontal objectives of the project.
