We are happy to announce that on September 14^th and 15^th, 2015 we are organizing a two day training on “Building a Roma Living Library” in Milan, Italy, as part of our capacity building program.

After the successful training “Creating opportunities for success – Multilingual learning environments for Romani children” in Leiden, the Netherlands, we are now offering one more prospect for learning and improving your competences in order to make a difference to the lives of those you serve, Romani and traveller children, their families and communities.

For more information on the training (goals, expected outcomes and methodology) please look at the document attached with the brief description of the training.

All the expenses for meals, visas, travel and accommodation will be covered by ISSA.

If you are a REYN member and an early childhood practitioner working in early childhood services or in Romani communities, or represent a Ministry or other state body responsible for the quality of education, if you are doing advocacy work and you want to explore how to challenge existing bias towards Romani communities, and learn more about what you can do to promote inclusive, high quality learning and living environments for Romani children please fill in the attached Application Form by August 22^nd  and send it by email to Judit Levenda at levenda.judit@gmail.com.
