Context Roma people form Europe’s largest ethnic minority and have for centuries constituted an integral part of the European society. But despite efforts at national and European level to improve the protection of their fundamental rights and the advance in their social integration, many Roma still face severe poverty, profound social exclusion, barriers to exercising their fundamental rights and discrimination. These problems affect their access to quality education, which, in turn, undermines their employment and income prospects, housing conditions and health status, curbing their overall ability to fully exploit their potential. Improving the educational situation of Roma is a critical test of the EU’s ability to achieve progress in the inclusion of all extremely marginalised and socially excluded groups. Within this context, the participation of Roma in adult learning has continued to fall, from 9,8 % of the 25-64 years old population in 2005 to only 9,1 % in 2020, thus failing to achieve the increased “ET2020” target.Objectives ObjectivesRoma Plus project aims at the development of a new thriving peer learning experience for Adult (low-literate) Roma, increasing attractiveness of training and reducing drop-out rates, while enhancing the skills and competences of adult Trainers/Teachers in the use of new adult training techniques, tailored to the Roma cultural background.The primary objective, is going to be achieved, through two supplementary objectives:1. Development of OER for adult educators working with Adult Roma with low literacy, to enhance their relevant competences.2. Development of peer learning material that will target low literate Roma Adults, creating a learning experience that will increase their literacy skills and number and profile of participants; • Adult Roma population that is going to participate in the peer learning activities to increase their literacy level (60) • Roma Representatives and associations that are going to undertake the role of disseminating the peer learning process to the Roma population, attracting beneficiaries and participants for the implementation of the activities (3) • Adult Trainers/Teachers that are working/delivering training to Adult Roma that show a low-level of functional literature and are in need of upskilling, in order to achieve social inclusion and increase their well-being in local and regional societies (10). • Adult training providers that target vulnerable groups with cultural background and need new ideas and training resources to deliver upskilling of adult Roma populations (6) • Grass-root NGOs that are working with valnurable groups and support Roma Assocations to increase social inclusion of Roma at a local and regional level (6) • Stakeholders at regional/national level who are responsible for the social inclusion of Roma at a National Level, with policies that include upskilling and new learning opportunities for the adult Roma population (6).Activities /ActivitiesIn Roma Plus, based on the Needs Analysis and the identification of the Project Objectives and Results to be achieved, we have prepared a coherent project implementation plan, that includes: • 3 Intellectual Outputs, • 1 Joint Staff Training Event • 4 Transnational Meetings, including the Kick-Off Meeting and the Final Conference • 4 Multiplier Events, including a final ConferenceResultsR1: Increased knowledge of the new adult training methodologies with a specific focus on groups with vultural background (Adult Roma) R2: Individuals are going to be have a better understanding of the available training material and the peer learning activities.R3: Increased acceptance of the Adult Roma Population through their increase in literacy skills.R4: Higher use of the OER produced during IO1 by adult trainers/teachersR5: Higher promotion and awareness raised on the Adult Roma upskilling necesity and process is going to be achieved R6: Active involvement of stakeholders (Roma Associations/representatives) from all relevant areas (local, Regional, National even EU level), and promotion of the cooperation among adult education providers and individual (Adult Roma learners) in the upskilling of their literacy skills is going to be achievedImpact • A higher level of quality in literacy training, through the establishment of OER and our developed peer learning experience. • Increased awareness and visibility of Europass among stakeholders • Roma Representing Associations are going to have the opportunity to expand their awareness on the importance of literacy among the Roma Population and participate in a new thriving learning experience for upskilling their literacy levels.Long Term BenefitsThrough the implementation of the project the Triangle between the Republic of North Macedonia, Greece and Bulgaria is going to strengthen its cultural, social and other connections, increasing prosperity for all and beyond the Adult Roma.
