A new ENTRanceEntwicklung innovativer Instrumente zur Förderung der Existenzgründung von Roma

Description

"With 10 to 12 Million, Roma are the biggest ethnic minority of Europe. A relevant reason for their permanent discrimination is their low education level. After the obligation to go to school, the participation of Roma in education decreases clearly. Only about 15 per cent finalise the secondary level II. Less than 20 per cent of Roma obtain a finalized vocational training. Only 2 to 5 per cent of all Roma attend a highschool. Less than 5 per cent of all Roma are University graduates. Their unemployment rate is in average higher than 70 per cent, the one of women is even higher. Much more dramatic – even it is not so much noticed in society – is the situation in the field of entrepreneurship. EU-wide, about 15.1 per cent of all people in paid work are self-entrepreneurs (solo-entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs with staff). Although a readiness for starting-up a business exists also among Roma, their share within self-employers is so low that there is no statistics about them in the partner countries. Estimations of experts say it is lower than 1 per cent. Opposite to that, more and more people with migration background go their way into entrepreneurship. The share of this group among the entrepreneurs has increased in the last years, despite of the crisis. In Germany for example, each Third migrant opens his own business. This shows that the way into entrepreneurship is a serious alternative to unemployment and that it contributes relevantly to combating poverty and social exclusion, and to promoting lifelong learning and social participation. In the frame of ""A new ENTRance"", the project partners from Germany, Greece, Hungary and Romania have generated high quality Curricula for adult education that make the implementation of entrepreneurship courses for Roma possible with consideration of education and labour market as well as target group specific needs. The Curricula are not only available in German, Greek, Hungarian and Romanian but also in English and Romanes which promotes both the implementation of the entrepreneurship training courses with the target group and the transfer into other European countries. During the Pilot Training that was implemented within the project, experienced and accordingly qualified education actors from the partner countries were enabled to implement entrepreneurship training courses for Roma as trainers what they did for the first time within the Test Phases in Germany, Greece, Hungary and Romania. The development of an Online Self-evaluation Tool for examining the appropriateness as entrepreneur, that is not only available for the target group of Roma but all potential entrepreneurs on http://roma.entre.gr/, ensures the inclusion of ICT competences and responds this way to the digital era in adult education. The project contributes concretely to the EU Framework for National Strategies for the Integration of Roma until 2020 and the according National Strategies of the partner countries."
