Description

The mobility project is based on already existing bilateral cooperation between the University of West Bohemia and Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences (HiOA). The ongoing debate about the Roma Issue in Central Europe indicates that many interrelated aspects, especially with historical and cultural context are hidden and very enigmatic for the Norwegian part. Drawing on the fieldwork of the applicant, the aim of the mobility project is to realize 4 introductory lessons about the Roma Issue in Central Europe at HiOA, and to create a functional platform for the information exchange and sharing the applicant's experience in the research of the Roma Issue which could be source of inspiration for bilateral research project focusing on problems of marginalization and social exclusion in both The Kingdom of Norway and the Czech Republic.
