These activities will serve as a bridge for young Roma tertiary students and graduates towards employment and active citizenship, by providing tailored training in professional development, computer courses, foreign language competences, but should as well include support to Roma students in education in respect to needed mitigation of the negative consequences of COVID-19 and its potential reoccurring.

Particular attention will be paid to ensure that the partners are aware of gender-sensitive approach and to apply it in the project implementation.

There will be one grant awarded in each country.

Geographical coverage

Eligible countries where the project should be realized are Turkey and Serbia.

Note: The applicant needs to take into consideration during the selection of specific locations that the proposed project activities cannot take place at those locations where there is currently an on-going REF supported project.

Target group

The target group are Roma students accepted to full time BA studies from the 2020/21 academic year and to be followed during one school year period.
