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
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…)
