The project TERNO (Teachers Education for Roma New Opportunities in School) is a project co-financed by the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission (Key Activity 1: Roma Multilateral Projects) which aims to set up and implement special support centres in order to support the Roma children that attend the last classes of the elementary school to complete primary education and pass on to the secondary education.

The general objective of the project is to prevent the early school leaving of the Roma children and support the Roma children to move from the elementary to the secondary education. The project aims to improve the participation/maintanance in school for children with low living standard by overpassing the lack of interest towards traditional learning methods. The specific objective with which the general objective will be achieved is through the training of the teachers (or teaching assistants) that are teaching Roma in order to support the Roma children to complete the elementary education.

The main result that the TERNO project has developed are Centres for the provision of supplementary education for Roma children that are completing the elementary education and are preparing to pass to the secondary education. The organization of these centres was based on a methodology which has included all the important elements in order to help teachers of Roma children to better support children that attend the last classes of the school to complete elementary education and pass to the secondary education.

The consortium of the project is multi-actor, it has a great experience in the field and it has complementary competencies. It is constituted from 6 partners from 5 countries (Greece, Spain, Italy, Hungary and Romania). In the project they participate, 3 Roma Associations, one NGO led by Roma, a Research Institute which is specialized in the education research for the Roma people and an organization specialized in the development of research methodologies and management of LLP projects.

ROM-UP! The inclusion of Roma through quality successful educational experiences

The principal aim of ROM-UP! is to create an International Romani Network to raise
awareness of educational experiences that have already proven to be effective in
the promotion of the educational inclusion of Roma. The partners in this project,
working in their respective countries, review the value, sustainability and transferability
of such best practices as they are implemented in their national school systems
and implement at least one of these successful educational practices in one educational
setting at a national or local level.

A multi-lingual website is elaborating successful educational experiences and recommendations
on how to transfer these experiences to other European countries. In
order to boost reflection and dissemination, four national seminars and a final conference
bring together stakeholders to activate and intensify Roma networking. Furthermore,
a Permanent Observatory on successful educational experiences in Roma
inclusion, together with the website and the International Roma network, will ensure
adequate sustainability once this project has reached the end of its scheduled duration,
in terms of EU support
