Action to inform - attract campers
In the context of the first work package, the Scientific Committee of the act completed the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the potential beneficiaries in the intervention areas and proceeded to determine the social-economic selection criteria of the potential beneficiaries. The members of the Scientific Committee collaborated to develop the procedures and material for the counseling actions while the social workers and mediators of the practice completed the counseling of Roma families with children of primary school age.
Preparation actions for small Roma campers
Initially, the Scientific Committee of the project, based on the results of the evaluation of action A, proceeded to finalize the lists of potential beneficiaries. At the same time, the social workers, the mediators and the trainers of the act collaborated to create the educational material for the campers’ companions, the camp staff and the children’s families. This material will then be used for each of the three experiential workshops.
