In 2018, REF started implementing the project Increased education opportunities for Roma students and Roma youth in Western Balkans and Turkey, funded by EU DG NEAR. The project aims to reduce the gap between Roma and non-Roma in the participation and completion of quality education through gender-sensitive programming, to improve Roma students’ transition between education and employment and to promote durable systemic change and desegregation of education systems in the Western Balkans and Turkey.
The project objectives will be achieved through:
- supporting Roma children in pre-school education and enrolling them into integrated primary schools;
- awarding scholarships to Roma students in secondary and tertiary education;
- supporting transition between education levels and employment;
- building capacities of relevant authorities and their understanding of the specific challenges faced by the Roma community;
- supporting regional networking and exchanging experiences with the aim to contribute to the mainstreaming of Roma in national policies and, where relevant, changes in policies and legislation.
These project objectives will be achieved through sub-granting to partner organizations which will be responsible for the administration and implementation of project activities within the granted financial budget. The selected organizations will be expected to define and adapt activities, as well as to propose methodology and implementation plans, which reflect the country specific context national and/or local levels.
