Roma Empowerment and Support for Inclusion – Case study Ghent, Belgium



The case study on the project Bridging Figures (BIEMs) - The Intra European Migration School Mediators in Ghent, Belgium,  highlights the importance of the political will as a driver for introducing and supporting universal and inclusive policies benefiting the whole society and not only a target group, in this case Roma children and families. It also features the importance of mediators, professionals and paraprofessionals with the role to support children and parents, build bridges between schools and families, support school teams and create networks of support  in the neighborhood.
