Projektziel

EDI 2 Project aims at enhancing the integration of minority communities in Kosovo through enhanced education, interethnic dialogue and empowerment. To achieve the objective of this project, which is a continuation of EDI 1, the EDI consortium will work to increase the access to education, empower youth and adults, and advocate for the institutionalization of the learning centres program for the empowerment of Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities.

Erwartete Ergebnisse

The outputs/expected results of EDI 2 are:

1. Increased access to education of the target groups and improved children’s school achievement;

2. Youth and adults gained leadership skills and are empowered;

3. Learning center program is institutionalized and government policy related to education is implemented.

Zielgruppe

In EDI 2 partners will work jointly to create more synergies and will concentrate their activities in 4 municipalities in Kosovo: Fushë Kosovë/Kosovo Polje, Lipjan/Lipljan (Janjevë/o), Shtime/Štimlje and Obiliq/Obili? (Plemetin/a). The number of municipalities was limited to be able to concentrate more attention and resources to facilitate increasing impact on beneficiaries.

At the end of the project approximately 70 volunteers, 1800 children, 115 adults, 15 families, teachers and project staff will have benefited from the activities.
