A MAGICAL JOURNEY FOR “MOBILE SCHOOL TRAVELS”. A HUGE IMPACT TO YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS

08 Sep A MAGICAL JOURNEY FOR “MOBILE SCHOOL TRAVELS”. A HUGE IMPACT TO YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS

19 Roma and non-Roma children and more than 80 visitors were approached by “The Mobile School Travels” at the Xanthi Old Town Celebrations.
Yesterday, Wednesday, September 7, from 6 P.M and for three whole hours, at the Limnio Theme Park, the “Mobile School” guided people of all ages on the journey of knowledge, learning and cooperation. The response was very great and several of the visitors asked if our project can visit other cities and schools.
After three years of interventions only within Drama, the Mobile School from 2020 until today is taking place three times a week in areas of Drama, Kavala and Xanthi, in order to approach Roma children who either for social or family reasons are excluded from the school communities and cannot have a regular education.
The project “The Mobile School Travels” is implemented within the framework of the Active citizensfund program, with the implementing body of the Ladies’ Union of Drama – House of Open Hospitality (ΗΟΗ). The Active citizens fund program, amounting to €13,5 million, is financed by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway and is part of the financial mechanism of the European Economic Area (EEA) for the period 2014 – 2021, known as EEA Grants. The program aims to strengthen and optimize the sustainability of civil society, as well to highlight its role in promoting democratic processes, strengthening citizens’ participation in society and defending human rights. The management of the grant of the Active citizens fund program for Greece has been undertaken jointly by the Bodosaki Foundation and the Solidarity Now. Read more here: www.activecitizensfund.gr
