The learning partnership for "Roma Youth Empowerment for Active Citizenship" brings together Roma organizations experienced in adult education from 6 European countries for a two year lasting transnational networking and learning process. The main aims of the partnership are to to strengthen the foreign language skills, the initiative and the social and civic skills of young adult learners, Roma and non-Roma, to combat racism and xenophobia, as well as to improve the approaches and methods of staff and trainers in the field. This will be reached through local and national training-courses, actions, performances, summer schools, and debates, through international mobilities of staff/trainers and young adult learners to share practices and experiences and to transfer methods cross-borders, through networking meetings, through the establishment of ICT working tools such as an online intranet, webpage and video-conferences, and last but not least through the development of toolkits and a publication of best practices, needs and recommendations for educational institutions and policy-makers.The partnership addresses the transnational and European challenge, which was recognized by the EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies up to 2020, that young Roma are at risk of social marginalization through lack and failures in formal educational systems. Stigmatization and social marginalization are recognized as the root causes of social exclusion. Therefore, the partnership develops innovative and inclusive approaches in adult education with young Roma and non-Roma adults based on non-formal and informal educational methods, and disseminates and advocates practices on national and European level.
