The project aims to support the integration of Roma students into vocational education and training, facilitate their access to the labor market, and promote the inclusion of Roma. By providing peer support to Roma students in vocational education, the project aims to reduce absenteeism, facilitate their education process, and enable them to gain professional skills that are needed in the labor market.
The peer support model will enable Roma students (and volunteers) to acquire new learning approaches and outreach that will enhance their chances of gaining employment. The project will build best practices to serve as role models to motivate Roma students to enrol in vocational schools, and this will contribute to the innovation of vocational education and training. By providing new learning approaches and outreach, the project will encourage Roma students to take an active role in their own education process.
Every child deserves a champion – an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.

Joining ASPIRE4R as a volunteer means you’re part of a group that wants to break down barriers for our friends. We’re all about helping Roma students grow and giving them a chance for a future with lots of possibilities.”
I sometimes feel lost in school, struggling with Math and English and feeling like I couldn’t catch up. With the support of friends, I got the help I needed. Now, I’m not just keeping up; I’m like school.
We believe in our future.’ It’s a chance to stand together, support each other, and create a positive path for Roma students. When we volunteer, we show the world our unity and strength
