The Know-How Center for Alternative Child Care, NBU, continues to organize monthly seminars and discussion meetings in January 2020. The next meeting will take place on January 16th and will focus on the following topic:

"The Modern Bulgarian School and the Roma community - Points of Intersection and Influence".

The discussants will present data from the most recent research in the field and will seek, together with the participants, the answers to the question:

Why do the policies of "educational integration" of Roma children fail to reach the stated objective beyond the usual conclusions "because Roma do not value education" and "because Roma do not want to integrate"?

First, the meeting will investigate what is meant by "educational integration" in the numerous Bulgarian national documents, and what is the purpose of these policies, according to these same documents. Then it will look at what is happening with the Roma children in today's Bulgarian school and what developmental questions Roma high school graduates and the Roma community and our society as a whole are facing.

More information about the discussion can be found on the KHC website in Bulgarian.
