Within the framework of the RISE - Roma Inclusive School Experiences project, we are preparing and implementing workshops for children in six participating schools in Slovenia. The first part of the workshops included a discussion on the different personality and diversity of cultures. The main task of the children was to get to know the Roma culture and to create a didactic game that would teach us about Roma culture and history.

On Tuesday, March 12, 2019, and Thursday, March 14, 2019, workshops on the production of didactic material were held at the Drska Primary School in Novo mesto in three classes of the first grade and one class of the second grade. In the first group they produced drawing and writing plates for sharing acceptance, in another a toy - a bunny of goods.

First part of workshops included learning about the diversity of cultures around us. The main task of children was to learn about Roma culture and create a didactic game, which would teach us about Roma culture and history. Students were divided into groups and each group had to explore where did Roma come from, how they moved and when they came to Slovenia. After gathering all of the necessary knowledge students prepared a board game with questions about Roma culture and history.

On March 2, 2019, in the Novo mesto Development and Education Center, training for teachers, social workers and Roma assistants took place within the framework of the Roma Inclusive School Experiences project. The main topics were cooperative learning and inclusion in school.

The professional development course "Peer observation and teacher's professionalism" that will be organized in Portugal aims at promoting peer observation among teachers, as a privileged strategy of horizontal pedagogical supervision, at the service of a vision of teacher´s professionalism as a collective action for social change. By helping to better understand and intervene in classroom work, class observation is a powerful strategy for the development of teacher´s professionalism.

Project RISE (Roma Inclusive School Experiences) is devoted to creating more inclusive schools for all of the children. Project partners from Italy, Portugal and Slovenia are aiming to fight the discrimination in education and to reduce absence rates and educational disengagement, especially of Roma children.

The event "Dirty words: prejudice, discrimination, racism in the media and inside us" will take place on the 29th of January 2019 at the University of Bologna.

The event is organized by the Centro Studi Donati and it will be focused the social media representations of the Roma people and their effects.

The program of the activities related to action research, trainings and didactic workshops that will be realized in Bologna (Italy) in the next months is ready. You can consult it in the "Documentation" section of our website both in english and italian language.

We recommend "9841/Rukeli", a piece of theater focused on the history of Johann Trollmann and issues related to the fight against racism and prejudice.

9841/ RUKELI is not a monologue about boxing but is about boxing,

it is not a monologue about gypsies but is about gypsies,

it is not a monologue about nazism but is about its atrocities,

it is not a monologue about today's memory as is a story about yesterday.

9841 / RUKELI is the story of Johann Trollmann, a human being that can be us.
