Exchanging good European practices and becoming a part of the wide European network
RIC Novo mesto took part in a high-level, trans-national policy seminar as part of the EU-funded (LLP, Roma Policy) project ‘Literacy Cubed – Focus on Roma Families (LIT3)’ (www.lit3-project.eu) which was held in London on the 19th and 20th February 2015 at the University College London – Institute of Education. The participants were policy makers from Europe and from the national project’ partners as well as representatives from the other successful LLP projects. The purpose of the seminar was to consider and build on the messages from the first draft of the Policy Brief (following successful implementation of family literacy programmes with Roma families in Romania, Montenegro and Slovakia), informing its development, to ensure that it is aligned with other national and international policy developments and is of relevance to a broad range of policy areas.
Gabi Ogulin Počrvina, representative from RIC Novo mesto, presented good practices in working with Roma, focused on two current LLP projects: project Finally (to raise the financial literacy of Roma Adults) and project eRR (E-Roma Resource – implementation of online educational and informational platform). As RIC is an adult education center our major goal is to enable Roma acquiring basic literacy knowledge and skills. Those opportunity was well for improving our work, exchanging good European practices and becoming a part of the wide European network in the field of Roma education.
