The Roma Of Greece – Roma in Rhodes

The Roma Of Greece

The Roma Of Greece, settled or displaced, are part of the Roma living in almost all parts of the world. They first appeared around the 11th century in areas of the Byzantine Empire and somewhere between the 14th and 15thcentury in today’s Greek area. Since then they have lived in various parts of Greece, from Crete to Thrace, and according to their particular perceptions and social structure have been organised in temporary or permanent settlements. They depend their economic activities on market needs presented to the surrounding society.

After the First World War, and particularly after the Asia Minor Disaster, a second large Roma migratory stream entered Greece from the Constantinople and Izmir area (Ioannidou 1990:436). Some Roma groups who have apparently moved from Romania and Albania, as early of the 20th century to just as recently, use many elements of the Romanian and Albanian language. (περισσότερα…)

Summary

The Europe 2020 strategy envisages reducing the early school leaver rate from 15% to fewer than 10% by 2020. Through the adoption of the Lisbon Strategy in 2000, the EU and its Member States equipped themselves with a framework to address poverty and deprivation. Specific attention was given to child poverty and child well-being, with some EU Member States setting explicit targets within set timeframes. More recently, the EU has proposed an “inclusive growth” strand in the Europe 2020 Strategy. The accent on inclusion provides a further opportunity to adopt a comprehensive EU approach to achieving well-being for children, including the most marginalized such as the Roma.

TPM 3 Kos Models Shaping REF Interventions

Ref logo new

REF has extensive experience and knowledge surrounding the types of interventions in and approaches to Roma education. REF currently structures its grants around five good practice models for achieving impact in different countries and policy settings.

Embedding effective models for Roma education requires strong partnerships with national and local education authorities and implies intense communication with them throughout the process of adjusting best practice models to national and local contexts.

Model 1

Expanding Access to Preschool Education: Early Childhood Education

REF’s early childhood education model aims to improve the school readiness and early childhood development outcomes of Romani children under age six by improving the enrollment and attendance in the mainstream preschool services; enhancing the parenting skills and improving the practices of Romani parents; strengthening the link between parents and preschool and kindergarten facilities; and raising the quality of early childhood education services, such as teaching and learning methods.

Model 2

Avoiding Early School Leaving in Primary Education

The primary education model intends to improve the primary education outcomes of Romani children aged between six and fourteen by supporting primary education enrollment and school-after-school programs (tutoring and mentoring) with improved access (enrollment) to primary education, preventing early school leaving, enhancing parental skills, and strengthening the link between parents and schools, providing remedial classes to children and offering professional support and guidance to school staff and authorities.

Model 3

Expanding Access to Secondary Education

The secondary education model aims to improve the academic performance of students and to maintain the retention and graduation rate of Romani secondary school students through better outreach, provision of scholarships, school-based mentorship support and tutorship support.

Model 4

Expanding Access to Higher Education

The higher education model includes the component of RomaVersitas, a program intended to improve the retention, performance and graduation levels of Romani full-time tertiary education students. RomaVersitas provides academic tutoring and mentoring to help strengthen students’ Romani identity and community participation. This model consists of compulsory and optional components. It serves as a bridge for young Romani scholars and includes scholarships, mentoring, tutoring and additional training in professional development and foreign language competences.

Model 5

Second Chance Programs for Adult Functional Literacy and Formal School Completion

The adult education and training model aims to improve the education level and employment prospects for young Romani adults. It provides those with incomplete primary and/or secondary education with tutoring and financial support for completing formal primary and/or secondary education. This model also aims to improve the literacy and social communication skills of illiterate and semi-literate Romani parents (mainly mothers) of preschool- and school-age children and enhance their involvement in their children’s education through provision of non-formal literacy and social communication skills trainings.

In 1983 the Council organised the first training seminar for teachers working with Roma children. In 1993 the Roma population was declared a European minority. (περισσότερα…)

2nd report

LTTA in Hungary

22-26 November 2022

The first LTTA took place between 22-26 November 2022 in Hungary, Jászberény. The main goal of the meeting was to gain deep insight into the Hungarian education system with the purpose to get to know how the Hungarian educational institutions succeed to integrate roma students into the education, which projects and measures are available to prevent roma students from early school-leaving both on local and national level.

Due to the COVID situation in Hungary the venues of the events were relocated, receiving guests at schools and all educational institutions was regulated by governmental measures, thus the professional parts of the meeting were held at the conference room of the Zoo.

During the meeting the participants had opportunity to take part in a discussion in the form of round table with teachers, headmasters and experts. (περισσότερα…)

The Roma strategy of association “Testvérvárosok Baráti Egyesülete” Hungary

ROMA 01 small

The Roma strategy of association “Testvérvárosok Baráti Egyesülete”, related to support of Roma families

The city of Jászberény has nine twin cities, it means that the different activities of the association are strongly connected to the activities of all the twin cities. Four of them have larger Roma communities.

These are: 

1./ Sucha Beskidzka (Poland),

2./ Conselve (Italy)

3./ Gyimesfelsőlok (Romania)

4./ Nitra (Slovakia)

We regularly exchange experiences with the educational institutions and civil organizations of the four twin cities regarding the support of Roma students and families.

The Gypsy population moved to Europe from India approx. 700 years ago. It was the “lowest”, poorest caste, which was divided into several strata, consisting of horse traders and tinsmiths. The musical gypsies were a separate class. The poorest made up the “tented” gypsies, who constantly travelled with their horse-drawn carts. This was typical for Hungary as well.

There are just few typical family models, the most relevant characteristics of them are the casual labor and giving birth to many children. As a result, their family model hardly changed, which was a cohesive closed community with many children. The children typically continued the family life they saw from their parents. They didn’t go to school, they got married early, they gave birth to children at the age of 14-16, due to this fact there were 6-10 children in a family. (περισσότερα…)
