What is it about?
Appreciation of the Jury

Early and regular steps. Gentle, innovative, persistent. Every small step of progress is celebrated: The child succeeds in an exercise. The Omama is employed for the first time in her life. The children will not automatically be enrolled in a special school later. A detailed manual, an observation sheet completed after each visit, and the scientific support serve to improve and expand: More Omamas in more settlements. The promotion of children after the third year of life as well. Politicians take more responsibility for the situation of the Roma minority by strongly supporting their improvement.
