During the program, we would like our colleagues to get to know the Kedvesház [Precious-house] Program and to implement the learned methodology into their daily work. Kindergarten pedagogues, teachers, and staff working in the mission field learned about several methodological elements that provide an opportunity to develop rules and to get to know children and families better. Through close professional cooperation with the consortium partner, we wanted to create a professional workshop to provide real fellowship for those professionals who work in two different countries but share the same mother tongue, and who work among families and children often with similar or same difficulties. During our work, we often encounter the same life situations and we wanted to share and exchange our good practices, the techniques, and tools we use in our work. Another important goal of the project was to have an indirect effect on social exclusion. The perception of Roma society is very negative in both countries, they have to deal with many stereotypes and obstacles. With the methodological and professional development of our teachers and colleagues, we want to help and support families through their children so that they can live the fullest
The special feature of the public education institution of the Békés-based Reményhír [Hopeful News] Educational Operations Center is that it is not diverse in terms of ethnic and sociocultural background. Predominantly cumulatively disadvantaged and mainly Roma children attend the institution. The teachers are committed and professionally well-trained, but we still thought it necessary to continuously expand their methodological cognition and knowledge as widely as possible. During the methodological development, we planned the formation and development of a conscious motivational, value-forming educational work. With this tender, we wanted to help our colleagues learn a new pedagogical methodology, introduce them to Roma culture, and think about how they can implement all of this into their daily work. Since there is a social and sociocultural difference between our teachers and the families of the children who come to our institutions, we would like our staff to have a deeper understanding of the social perception of children and families, their daily lives, the Roma culture and history.
