Teacher in My Community - Bolni ot Astma Foundation cohort 6 - 2024 - 2027

The main aim of the program is to provide possibility of building successful role models of Roma origin that will have a positive influence on the development of children at an early age. Thе project accomplishes this goal by supporting Roma, studying preschool pedagogy at the university and, eventually, starting work at kindergartens. This will allow for the increased participation of Roma young people in local and public life at local level, the improvement of the quality of education in kindergartens, and the strengthening of the relationship between parents and the kindergarten staff. Bolni ot Astma Foundation will be the lead organization on this project and will coordinate it at a local level, supporting 3 students in their university admission, supervising them, mentoring them, assisting them in developing a plan for volunteering initiatives and leading the process for their eventual hiring in partnering kindergartens.
