Experiencing success
Both institutions have worked together for a long time and have jointly
prepared a socio-economic integration programme for the Roma. The project
engages primary school pupils and secondary school students, supports
them in developing their strengths and enables them to experience success.
Primary school pupils are motivated and encouraged to continue their
education at secondary schools. The project involves 2 secondary schools
that off er specialisations that are traditionally preferred by Roma families,
as well as specialisations where the project seeks to break down prejudices
on the part of both families and educators. A team of professionals and
a team of Roma fi eldworkers, who actively seek out and assist students, are

involved in the project. The fi eldworkers are young Roma who completed
secondary education and have worked in the above peer programmes. They
themselves receive additional support in order to develop both personally
and professionally further and become informal authorities within their
communities in the future.
