LET’S KNOW EACH OTHER: STRATEGY FOR THE EQUITY INCLUSION OF ROMA STUDENTS

“In addition to the work done together with colleagues, what particularly impressed us and that we were able to appreciate during this visit was the grace and professionalism of the reception of the students of the school that hosted us”. These are the words of appreciation of teachers and experts from Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal, Spain and Hungary who in recent days at the professional hotel and tourism institute of Villa San Giovanni participated, together with a representation of Ipalbtur teachers, in the Italian stage of the Erasmus project activities concerning the strategies for the integration of Roma students.

“This is a European project for innovation and the exchange of good practices in the context of actions and strategies to combat marginalization and social exclusion – explained Carmela Ciappina, school director of the Ipalb Tur of Villa San Giovanni – which has the objective of facilitating the school inclusion and educational success of Roma students, contrasting their early school leaving, improving access to their families’ social and health services. An important step, but certainly not exhaustive, since cooperation between the educational sector and the social and socio-health sectors and the participation of the Roma community itself are fundamental”.
