35 so-called “Roma coordinators” from the Roma community work as mediators between teachers, (Roma) pupils, their families and the community in schools in deprived regions in Hungary. Mentored by two teachers, they graduate from secondary school and acquire cultural/ethnological and teaching knowledge. Teachers and staff from the local authorities also take part in intercultural and integration sensitivity training courses. The project successfully combines education, work and intercultural dialogue and supports the development of the entire local community. The project is rounded off by special staff and parent workshops.
