Understanding & Promoting Roma Inclusion in Education

This booklet was developed by the European Wergeland Centre as a resource for teacher training and classroom use, with the goal of promoting Roma inclusion in education.

It draws on EWC’s extensive experience working with teachers, teacher educators, school leaders, and civil society actors to advance Roma inclusion both in and through education. This work has been done in collaboration with partners in Romania, Slovakia, and Bulgaria.


The booklet offers a selection of activities that highlights four key topics which are essential for providing quality and inclusive education: inclusion & human rights, stereotypes & prejudices, Roma culture & history, and building inclusive schools. For each topic you will find practical methods and activities designed for teachers and educators to enhance inclusive teaching practices.

The activities are inspired by the Council of Europe’s manuals on democracy and
human rights education, as well as EWC’s own expertise.

The booklet is funded by the EEA and Norway Grants within the bilateral initative “Promoting Inclusion and Quality Education in Education in Romania” implemented by the EWC and the Romanian Social Development Fund under the Local Development, Poverty Reduction and Enhanced Roma Inclusion Programme.
