Description

The project focuses on several activities combating the major challenges of social integration in the Gemer region by creating a pair of Centres of Renewal, creating a tool rental system,  investing in the quality of education in its preschool kindergarten and elementary school, reopening the community centre in Plešivec to help the local and neighbouring communities, providing professional training in activities and skills required for the labour market, career counselling for children, craft courses for the public. The project partners specialize in intercultural mediation and the involvement of local communities in the planning and implementation of small community improvement projects. They will bring their knowledge of local communities as well as methods of working with communities. The project fights against cross-cutting forms of discrimination that clients have to face. It combats discrimination in a fundamental way by providing access to new services and strengthening existing services. Thanks to the work of the organization, people of all nationalities understand each other better and are motivated to revise their prejudices. The Roma have key roles at all levels of the project, which in particular strengthens local empowerment.
