Pheňora in Ostrava

About this project

<p>The project is addressed to Romani women living in social excluded localities. Through empowerment is addresses key aspects of generational poverty, related school and professional failure, and the absence of parental competence. Hackman argues that poor parenting is an important contributor to life poverty, which is mainly caused by very weak social, emotional and cognitive characteristics.<br> We want to strengthen the parenting role through key personalities (women from the locality), called pheňora. They will become leaders and will develop the parental competencies of the mothers during the implemented sessions whose contents are activities aimed at the development of the personalities of the children in all its necessary aspects.<br> The pheňori will have a mentor who will help them to prepare the lessons and support them in their work in the locality or with the mother. The Pheňori will teach mother, how to educate child, help her with her problems or will help to contact professionals when there are fluctuations in the children's development.<br> The lessons are aimed to develop abilities and skills that which are mostly described by professionals as causes of school failure, such as poor emotional maturity, poor fine and gross motor skills, poor reading skills, or poor cognitive expression. Except home meeting mother will meet in monthly events which are lead by experts in child care or education.</p>
