Czech Republic

In the Czech Republic EWC has promoted inclusion in education through an innovative partnership with the new Roma and Sinti Centre in Prague.

EWC has supported the establishment of the new Roma and Sinti Centre
in Prague to be a place for cultural encounters, raising tolerance and mutual understanding.

The Center aims to address the low public awareness about Roma culture and history among the
Czech Society and be an open space for events and meetings.

EWC supported the Center in integrating citizenship education elements into its educational concept and programme. With EWC’s support a group of museums educators was trained, who in turn reached 439 young people and 40 teachers.

“Establishing the Centre of Roma and Sinti in Prague” was funded by EEA and Norway Grants.
