Professional Training Program for Young Gypsy Women

Leonardo da Vinci Program. European Union (1999-2000).                                   

This project was directed at giving a response to the situation of marginalization and exclusion that the gypsy people suffer and their most disadvantaged sector, the young women. For these reasons, the project pursued the objective to favor significant changes through professional training, a training that would be complete and would incorporate their cultural values, reassessing and recognizing the social status of the gypsy women within society.

Participating organizations:

L’Institut de Stinte ale Educatie Nei (Romania)
Derbyshire Gypsy Liason Group (England)
Secretariado Diocesano de Lisboa da Pastoral Dos Ciganos (Portugal)
