The Roma Project runs various projects both at a local, national and international level.
OFFICIAL ENGLISH CLASSES:
The Roma Project knows that learning a new language is not easy for anyone and in order to foster social inclusion and find a job and contribute back to the community, language is a key element.
English classes are run for the Roma Women from the community who have moved to the country and whose first language is not English. The classes are mixed ability and are for those total beginners to others who may be a bit more advanced with their English. The classes are run by a trained teacher and take place on a weekly basis for 4 hours a week and Speaking, Writing, Listening and Reading are assessed throughout the course. The women from the community decide the thematic content that they explore and learn more about. Topics include health care visits, talking to teachers at school, dental visits, everyday work, community and general conversational skills.
Classes run Monday evenings. For more information contact: Bernie Flatley at +44 (0)7722 555 899.
