Home tutors for Roma children
 |
|
This project was launched in 1995, since
when Roma children can receive free tutoring at home. One a week
as a rule they are visited by student teachers, students of
psychology or ethnology or students from the Social Academy.
This home tutoring helps the children to pass their
school-leaving examinations.
In 1996 the project earned Romano Centro the Integration Award
sponsored by the Vienna Integration Fund and the newspaper DER
STANDARD for “the best integration project in the field of daily
coexistence”. |
Roma assistant teachers
Since September 2000 Romano Centro has employed Roma assistant
teachers at Viennese schools attended by a large number of Roma
children. This project receives support from the Vienna Integration
Fund and the Ministry of Education. The assistant teachers act as
intermediaries between teachers, pupils and parents. They help to
motivate the children, accompany them to class, assist the teachers
with language problems and try to open up channels of communication
between the parents and the school. Because they speak their language,
the assistant teachers help the children in their search for an
identity and gain the parents’ trust as being familiar with their
cultural and social traditions.
