QualiRom radionica u Hrvatskoj
Quality Education in Romani – QualiRom radionica je u Hrvatskoj održana online 8. studenoga 2021. godine, u suradnji Europskog centra za moderne jezike i Ministarstva znanosti i obrazovanja Republike Hrvatske. Radionicu je moderirao tim stručnjaka ECML-a – gospodin David Little iz Irske i gospodin Ján Hero iz Slovačke.
Tijekom radionice sudionici su upoznati s metodama i praktičnim postupcima koji će im pomoći u prepoznavanju jezičnih potreba učenika u svom predmetu. Radionica je organizirana s ciljem promicanja uključivanja Roma u obrazovni sustav i olakšavanja integracije govornika romskog jezika te poboljšanja obrazovne situacije romske djece.
U okviru radionice predstavljen je Okvirni kurikulum za romski jezik (CFR) Vijeća Europe, nastao kao dio projekta QualiRom - opsežnog odgovora Vijeća Europe na pitanja vezana uz obrazovanje pripadnika Romske nacionalne manjine.
Razmotreni su izazovi i iskustva u radu i integraciji romske djece u nastavu, kako bi se primjenom Okvirnog kurikuluma i njegovom prilagodbom specifičnostima lokalne zajednice olakšalo i potaknulo inkluziju romske djece i zajednički rad u učionici.
Sudionici radionice upoznati su s osnovama višejezičnog i interkulturalnog pristupa Vijeća Europe obrazovanju te su dodatno osvijestili izazove koje ono postavlja pred škole i učitelje u Hrvatskoj.
