Quality Education in Romani for Europe
Start date: Dec 1, 2010,

QualiRom - QUALITY EDUCATION IN ROMANI FOR EUROPE aims for piloting the Curriculum Framework for Romani (CFR) and the corresponding European Language Portfolio Models (ELPs) which - based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages - were developed by the Council of Europe.The socio-cultural situation of Roma differs both between and within single regions. Consequently, the schooling situation of Roma children and their needs concerning Romani teaching varies considerably: learners are speaking different varieties with different levels of proficiency and their parents have different attitudes towards Romani teaching; factors that have been taken into account in the set up of the project.The CFR includes the reference levels A1-B2 and although the ELPs were created for learners in primary and lower secondary schools only, QualiRom also pilots the CFR on upper secondary and on tertiary level as well as in further education. Furthermore, teacher training modules are developed for all levels of Romani teaching. The implementation on primary and secondary level takes place in up to three schools in Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, Slovakia and Republic of Serbia as third country participant with the participation of Romania as an experienced partner for evaluation and possible future implementation. Romani courses are offered for students and adults at Graz University and are adopted by the partner universities. Activities are carried out in close cooperation with local Romani teachers and local as well as national educational authorities. To ensure professional achievement, teachers at all levels are prepared comprehensively for the handling of the CFR and its ELPs by experts of the European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML).OUTCOMES:- ROMANI TEACHING on primary, secondary and tertiary level as well as in further education;- TEACHER TRAINING for Romani teaching on all levels;- TEACHING MATERIALS for various contexts available online.
