30 Aug FROM AUGUST TO APRIL 2024 NINE-MONTH EXTENSION FOR “THE MOBILE SCHOOL TRAVELS” PROJECT
The project “The Mobile School Travels” received a nine-month extension starting from August 2023. The project was positively evaluated after the institution submitted a new proposal to the grant administrators, which are the Bodosaki Foundation and Solidarity Now.
The goals are to approach other Roma children of mobile populations, who are located in the Prefecture of Drama during the fall, to have more children from the Philippou street camp go to school and get involved in sports activities, so that they have the opportunity to engage in the sports spirit, to continue the interventions in Kavala and Xanti. Finally, the goal is to turn this project into a documentary and to be screened at national festivals.
After three years of interventions only within Drama, the Mobile School from 2020 until today is located three times a week in areas of Drama, Kavala and Xanthi, in order to approach Roma children who are excluded either for social or family reasons 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 €15 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
