Fundació Privada Pere Closa is a grassroots entity that has been working for over 18 years to promote and support education within Roma community. We work in a dual approach:
· Professional perspective
· Roma perspective
The foundation board and its assembly are formed by 100% Roma members. Moreover, at least 40% of staff members come from Roma community.
According to our mission, we understand education and training as the basic tool to get social equality. Moreover, our activity is based on the support of Roma children and youth during their educational pathway. Our mission is to cultivate and to foster dynamic relationship between children, families, school and social environment. This idea conduces to the academic success and prevents schooling dropout.
Rather, the social benefits that foundation reaches are the reduction of absenteeism, the guarantee of young boys and girls academic success, their family support (in a positive parentally), the empowerment and promotion of the Roma culture, and the support of Roma students to apply at the university.
With our daily activity we expect to:
· boost the academic success of young Roma,
· promote the equal opportunities and non-discrimination for Roma students at school, and finally,
· Enhance social diversity, interculturalism and social equality for Roma Community.
In general, we have guaranteed the academic success of more than children, families in 209 schools. We have acted in more than 11 cities and 20 neighbourhoods in the whole territory of Catalonia. Furthermore, we have reached more than children at schools with Roma cultural activities.
