Rationale

Text available in

The members of the Romany minority in the Czech Republic as a nation and ethnic minority group are unemployed in great number which is, in some regions, almost hundred percent. The microregion Most and Litvínov are the ones where the unemployment of Romany minority members is the highest. The need to solve this issue is hot at the moment and is the topic of the strategic measures in all development documents of these regions.
An absolute majority of the Romany families in the region is entirely depended on social welfare and lives on the verge of poverty. Long-term unemployment breeds other consequences as the loss of own activity and the dependence on government support. A lot of Romany people have not got anything to fill their leisure time with they are bored and resort to criminality. A lot of them lives in despair and has not future expectations. All of that influences their children who grow up in these families. They are not interested in school attendance or any other education because they can see that their parents do not go to work and receive money from the government. We are convinced that there is a need to show the Romany people that it is possible to find a good job and that they need not loose expectance or pass to passivity or apathy. The N.E.R.O. project has been designed to find specific methods for motivation, retraining, work, advisory and other activities to be acceptable for the targeted group. No project has been implemented in such extent and such inner structure within other programmes.
In the microregion Most and Litvínov there is a high scale unemployment of the Romany minority members which is, in all directions, caused by racist and xenophobia approach of the employers to the members of this national and ethnic minority. The solution of this issue is complex and one of the ways is to find the original cause and try to overcome racism and xenophobia.

The project brings the innovation mainly in
- Complexity and the extent of the solution, respectively in the services complexity which is offered to the Romany minority by one umbrella organization and the result of which is a wide range of possibilities for each recipient from the targeted group to select the special area
- Large involvement of the targeted group, the Romany minority members, into the process analysis, implementation of procedures generated by the project implementation and the project implementation itself
- Creativity in coping with the Romany issue with the possibility for the targeted members to contribute creatively in the activities the project implements
- In consulting to propose the Network of Economic and Social Consulting Rooms with wider regional extent which will provide portability of knowledge, new information and methods fast and operationally because the unified element of the whole project is the location of the centre into the Chánov housing estate as the Romany people, according to a qualified information, do not use, or rarely use, the services of the organization and institutions distant from their natural environment
- The idea of the N.E.R.O. project built on music, theatrical, leisure and cultural activities which will be mapped and which will develop Romany culture and overcome racism and xenophobia
- The structure of the Developing Partnership of DRK as it is proposed to meet the targets and plants of the N.E.R.O. project the best and to the widest extent
- Philosophy of the effort to improve ?mutual? view of the other party not only to improve the majority view at the minority thus grinding racism and xenophobia prejudices
- Involve the targeted group members into monitoring the course of project and work of the Control Group
- Found the Museum of Romany History and Culture which, in the planned scope, has not any parallel in the CR
Innovations are to high extent focused on context and the process.

Text available in

The reason to select the targeted group of Romany minority members is high level of unemployment caused mainly by the membership to this national and ethnic minority.
The activities designed by the project are close to the mentality, natural prerequisites and starting qualification prerequisites of the Romany minority members and we can expect that it will arouse a requested interest of the targeted group in the project involvement.

Transnationality

 

Text available in

International cooperation will mainly consist in mutual transfer of information and experience with the project planning, managemenet and implementation.
Partnership with the proposed Spanish partner is prioritized because this entity has, in the areas the N.E.R.O. project deals with, great experience and can be beneficial for the successful project implementation. In addition this entity deals with the issue concerned much longer than the Dům Romské Kultury and has tried a lot of procedures but not all have necessarily proved success. By learning from this search of ways the N. E. R. O. project can only make profit. The area of assisted employment of the Romany nation minority and other members of the Romany ethnic minority will be a very successful cross point of our mutual cooperation.
