Project Summary

The project PAL Push Entrepreneurship is aiming to develop a comprehensive approach and endorse a number of goals in training and employment in order to speed up Roma Integration and support the implementation of national Roma inclusion strategies and the Council Recommendation of Roma Integration. The project aims to support Roma participation of different levels, by gathering qualitative data about approaches and practices of Roma and supporting initiatives where Roma participation is a key to long-term change.
The Roma is Europe’s largest minority, with an estimated population of 10-12 million. Socially and economically, the Roma are also one of the Europe’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups and frequently face intolerance, discrimination and exclusion. Many lack access to housing, healthcare, social services employment and education. European countries have both a national and a joint responsibility to address the discrimination and exclusion of the Roma; significant funding has been devoted towards improving the situation of the Roma.
The project is planning to prepare the following outputs aiming to enhance the Roma business initiatives and self-employment:
– Training Programme on Roma Entrepreneurship with duration of 6 months
– Design of a specific Guideline for Organizing Innovative Roma Camps
– Training of trainers Capacity Building and Skills Training Sessions and 5 days Pilot PAL Push Entrepreneurship Camps. At the end of the training of trainers program, the 8 Romani adults will be able to organize and facilitate camps for young Roma in their countries and 16 Roma will be educated
– PAL Push Entrepreneurship’s Audiovisual Manual, including videos collecting from participants’ experiences will be collected throughout the different project stages. The video produced will be subtitled in English.
– E-learning platform for Roma entrepreneurs and User manual with 17 months duration
– Sequence Board game focused on PAL Push Entrepreneurship: simulation game will be based on the realities of PAL Push Entrepreneurship enterprise/initiative in the form of a computer program.
