Rationale

Text available in

Education and training of the Romanies requires support and encouragement. Even Romanies with good education have difficultie in entering working life beacause of the existing prejudice. Employers have little experience and knowledge of Romanies as employees.

Romanies should be motivated and supported in seeking their way to the education and employment by finding examples of success and by reducing prejudice and attitude through experience. The starting and the success of Romanies entrepreneurship should be made easier by offering enterprise training courses and by supporting them also after the business has taken off. Discrimination comes out in two different ways within the Romany population as being discriminated by the main population as well as discrimination by the Romany population.

Objective

Text available in

The DP has four sub-projects with the following objectives and measures:

1. Preventing exclusion on the second level: in addition to being excluded from the majority of the Finnish population, some Romanies are excluded from the rest of the Romany population. The essential measures are to find, support and motivate the excluded Romanies as well as those in danger of exclusion to join the social intercource.
The Romanies taking part in the project will take care that this group of discriminated people will be looked for out of their homes. Then their motivation to control their life will be raised, for example, with the help of courses and camps. After this the motivated Romanies will be guided through parts two, three and four of the project out to work.

2. Raising the level of education
Romanies that have not finished and received their diploma from the secondary education will be supported and directed to get this diploma. Those Romanies that have the diploma of secondary education will be supported in seeking of an occupation and guided into occupational education, high school or through directive education into education of apprenticeship.

3. Integrating into working life
With the help of the project, different ways to the employment are aimed to be found for those unemployed Romanies that have a professional qualification. Posts at different places of employment are sought for the Romanies through the project. With this, the change in the attitudes of the employers and work communities are aimed to be started.

The change in attitudes will be attempted to take an affect by giving the Romanies a chance to show their ability as an employee and to meet the work community at the personal level. The Romanies will have a chance of competing for jobs equally with the main population, when the trust has been reached between the employers, work communities and the Romany employees. The public sector will be a special target group during the project. The results of Romany workforce attained at the public sector could also be spread into private sector after the prejudice has stepped aside.

4. Supporting entrepreneurship
In projects connected to entrepreneurship, the main population and the Romanies often do not have a common language. There needs to be encouragement and support for the Romanies with enterprising spirit so they could at least go self-employed using the rules of Finnish entrepreneurship. The objective is to reduce the obstacles of Romany entrepreneurship to the same level with that of the main population.

All sub-projects include information measures with the main objective being attitude change.
