Our project is moving along nicely and its first phase for the assessment of financial literacy needs of Greek Roma is almost complete. What have we found out so far? A lot of very useful information about “who’s the boss” in a typical Greek Roma household (you guessed right, it is the mother. She is also the one managing the “family budget”), how Greek Roma earn money and how they like to spend it, whether they are interested to learn how to manage the finances of a small business or to live on a salary (they are!). The good thing is that we are generating some buzz about the FINALLY project. The Roma community inGreeceand educators with years of experience in Roma education (formal and informal) are getting excited about the course we are about to develop. Who could ask for anything more?
