‘What’s working?’: Promoting the inclusion of Roma in and through education : Transnational policy review and research report

Scullion, LC; Brown, P

Abstract

As part of an increasing focus on Roma communities the European Commission’s
Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) commissioned a ‘Policy
Cooperation and Innovation Roma Multilateral project’ through the Lifelong Learning
Programme. The objective of the project is to support the creation of transnational
cooperation projects to develop lifelong learning measures for Roma integration, joining up
educational and other social measures such as health, employment and housing.
Furthermore, the programme aims to raise participation and attainment levels of Roma
students in education and VET (Vocational Education and Training).
This study represents the research component of a larger project funded as part of the
above programme. The project was led by the BHA for Equality (BHA) in the United Kingdom
(UK) in collaboration with Manchester City Council International New Arrivals, Travellers and
Supplementary Schools Team in the UK, Fundación Secretariado Gitano in Spain and Pharos
in the Netherlands. The project focused specifically on newly arriving Roma in the partner countries. This refers
to Roma who have migrated to partner countries in more recent years – particularly
following the accession of a number of Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries –
rather than focusing on long established or indigenous Roma populations.
