Project information
Hungary
was funded in May 2003 and began implementation
in September of the same year. In the 2004-2005
year, the project operated as follows:
Number
of Sites - 3 (Budapest, Miskolc, and Patka)
Number of schools/preschools - 10
Number of children - 530
Number of Roma children - 460
The
major implementing partners are Ec Pec Foundation,
local minority governments (Roma) and the Family
Support Centre in Miskolc.
The
Hungarian REI model is built on the concept of Local
Integration Networks (LINs). These networks were
designed to bring schools, local governments, and
community organizations together in support of the
desegregation of Roma children and youth. As the
Hungarian REI team noted in response to the question
regarding the most significant aspects of their
project: "Our approach is unique … we
are trying to initiate systemic change through the
Local Integration Networks."
Project
