The Sedrin Project

Welcome to the site of the Sedrin project. A project that aims to help Roma children to complete their primary education.

We decided to tackle this problem by training the Roma women to act as intermediators between the Roma children and the school.

 

This project elaborated by the Romani Association of Women
‘Drom Kotar Mestipen’ has a definite gender angle, which is
especially important given the patriarchal culture and structure
of Roma communities in general. Aiming to widen access to
Lifelong Learning programmes, and especially vocational educational
training, this project undertakes to improve employment perspectives
amongst Roma. This is achieved primarily by restoring dialogue and trust between
students’ parents and the schools, and the role of mothers is essential in building
confidence and investing in the children’s educational future. Families may often not
have the skills that their children need to acquire, such as literacy, mathematics and
ICT. It is therefore important to inform and advise families on access and the value
of education and adult learning for professional qualifications. Information is also
made available on certification, Lifelong Learning Programmes and Vocational
Educational Training).
