Toy for Inclusion

About the project

The overall goal was to combat the segregation of young Romani children and their families and enhance social cohesion through community-based inclusive Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) services. The project also aimed to improve the transition experience of Romani children to schools. The main activity was the establishment of Toy libraries that represent a successful approach to overcoming segregation, provide access to quality non-formal ECEC services that improve the transition to formal education, and build the capacity of parents. The project offered intergenerational activities for different age groups, including young children and senior adults, learning together and learning from each other.
