IQ Roma servis, z. s.
Gendalos educational programme
The Gendalos (‘mirror’ in the Romani language) educational programme
responds to the low level of education among the Roma community in the
Czech Republic, especially in the South Moravian Region, where the proportion
of the Roma who have completed post-primary education is estimated at
30%. Through activities focusing on individual and group work with primary
and secondary school students, their parents, teachers, educators and other
school employees, the programme strives to improve chances of young Roma

to successfully complete the secondary education cycle and guide them
along their future educational and career path. The pillars of the activities
are individual support (including tutoring) and tailor-made motivational
activities, as well as raising pupils’ awareness in the area of educational and
career choices through career guidance and peer learning.
