Problems to be solved (justification of the need of the transnational cooperation):

The Romani people are segregated in the educational system and at the labour market. Roms are in Sweden low educated, as well as in Europe in general, and a majority of the Roms drops out of school in early ages. We have provided adult education to the Romani group for years at our school. Now we need more knowledge of how to build a school system, with pedagogical and methodology that fits the Roms and gives new opportunities to work and further studies.
