“Pasostar ando Prastape – Breaking into a Gallop” aims to pinpoint the challenges in education about the genocide of the Roma identified by the teachers. The project is developed by Terraforming in cooperation with Centropa from Germany, the Intercultural Institute Timisoara IIT from Romania, and TENET Center for Social Transformations from Ukraine.
The project aims to organize online and face-to-face workshops with teacher trainers, multipliers, and policymakers from Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Croatia, Greece, Germany, Hungary, The Netherlands, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, and Ukraine. The workshops will introduce the topic of education about the genocide of the Roma and address the lack of experience among educators about specific challenges, such as the lack of feedback from teachers to policymakers, teacher trainers, and textbook creators.
The project is supported by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Grant Program and the Stiftung Erinnerung, Verantwortung und Zukunft (EVZ) Foundation, with funding from the German Federal Foreign Office as part of the YOUNG PEOPLE Remember International program.
Challenges identified by the teachers, and teachers’ suggestions on addressing these problem
By doing so, it will present opportunities to teach this topic. The main output will be a publication aimed at decision- and policymakers, teacher trainers, and school curricula developers, with a summary of challenges in education about the genocide of the Roma identified by the teachers, and teachers’ suggestions on addressing these problems.
The project aims to back the national implementation of the forthcoming IHRA “Recommendations on Teaching and Learning about the Persecution and Genocide of the Roma during the Nazi Era.”
