Idea

Idea pitch

"EduCenter Creţeni - bridges not walls" aims to implement a series of measures and actions, in partnership with the local public authorities and other public institutions and NGOs, which will contribute to the integration of the Roma young people, and not only, in the society's activities by supporting entrepreneurship and vocational courses, European project management and writing courses, courses for skills development and entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector.

Where will your project idea take place?

Creteni Comune, Valcea County

What is the specific societal challenge faced by this region?

We aim to reconfigure the paradigm of Roma inclusion and to establish a cultural center that respects and recognizes the core values of the European Union, including human rights and human dignity, non-discrimination and equal opportunities.
The center will explicitly target children from the Roma community in the commune of Creteni, but not exclusively, being open to other members of the local community, promoting mutual understanding and combating prejudice on both sides.

Who are you doing it for?

• Roma people and families (especially young people) in situations of vulnerability, risk or facing various forms of socio-economic exclusion and low access to culture who will actively participate in all project activities.
• Roma people (young people ), especially Roma girls and young people with low levels of awareness of their rights and participation in community life, who will participate in empowerment activities.
• Members of the community belonging to the majority population(especially young people), who live in Creteni and live in socio-economic conditions similar to the Roma people, who will actively participate in all project activities.

How does your idea strengthen active citizenship at a local and community level?

The idea of this EduCenter is that we create a space for interaction between young people and access to personal and civic development activities.
Through the regular activities program offered to the 200 young people (roma or not), we make sure that the next generation has more confidence in their own strengths, is more open to diversity and communicates more easily in English.
The activities are tools for young people to learn about their role in the community, their rights and responsibilities, how they can contribute to society. The campaigns will encourage young people to express their opinions freely.
Beside the educational program we offer a safe socialization space for youth organizations in Crețeni where young people can plan and design project with impact in the community.

Why is this idea important to you?

For proper coordination, we will hire a Youth Worker to coordinate activities at the Center. For the management of the project we will have a project manager, a local coordinator for the activities and social worker.
For the visibility of the activities, the marketing specialist will make weekly posts with the activity of the space during the project.
The trainers in this project have experience working with young people since 2010.
For the events and the campaigns we will collaborate with the cultural institutes in the city.
In order to have a generation of active young people, we collaborate with competent people to mobilize young people and give them confidence in their own strengths.
