• International

The Misto Avilean! (‘Welcome’, in Romani) Project will be undertaken until November 2020 in Hungary, France, Romania and Spain. It aims to promote successful educational pathways for Roma children from  Eastern, Central and Western European countries by ensuring a quality and non-disruptive education for these children. To this end, the project aims to:

• Create a mechanism of transnational cooperation between educational centres and professionals from the localities of origin and destination of Roma children on the move in 4 Member States;
• Strengthening the competencies of educational professionals as regards Roma children on the move in 4 EU Member States. Education professionals will be provided with concrete tools and methods for ensuring non-discriminatory quality education for these children through a comprehensive training programme, stimulating mutual learning and cooperation through a transnational community of practice. 200 migrant Roma children in the 3 countries will benefit from these initiatives;
• Combating negative stereotypes and prejudice-related difficulties in ensuring non-discriminatory education for Roma children on the move through an awareness-raising campaign carried out by the children themselves.

Partners in this initiative are Magyarorzagi Terre des Hommes Alapitvany Lausanne (Hungary),Afeji (France), Fundatia Terre des Hommes-Elvetia (Romania), Fundatia Policy Center for Roma and Minorities (Romania) and Fundación Secretariado Gitano (Spain).

In Spain, the territories that will participate in this initiative are Asturias, Comunidad Valenciana and Cataluña.

This programme is financed by the European Commission, through the Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme (Directorate-General of Justice and Consumers).

The kick-off meeting of the project took place in January 2019 in Bucharest (Romania). Project partners are currently organising focus groups with families and professionals to analyse the existing barriers in the educational processes of Roma children on the move. Outcomes will serve as basis for the development of the different tools of the project.
