Creating a Model for Decreasing the Drop-out Rate Among Roma Children
Amalipe Center for Intercultural Dialogue and Tolerance
USD 23,930
During this summer project, Amalipe invited teachers that are implementing its free elective folklore and culture class to participate in a creative workshop. During this workshop, teachers shared best practices and provided suggestions on creating a model to lower the drop-out rate of Roma children. Based on these teachers’ suggestions, a platform was created, which Amalipe published and then used to create a more comprehensive, three year program. New pedagogical materials were also prepared, and another, new cadre of teachers was trained to implement the folklore and culture free elective class.
We are performing technical maintenance on our website and the project database will not be accessible until 4 pm today.
