WeBildEmpow: Girls with Refugee and Migration Experience
Educational Pathways and Empowerment of Young Romnja and Girls with Refugee and Migration Experience
Project at a Glance
Project Description
The collaborative project brings together migrant and refugee girls, young Romnja, social pedagogues, and researchers in a participatory research process focused on existing school-based and extracurricular educational programmes as well as pedagogical practices.
The aim is to identify which educational opportunities, learning content, empowerment strategies in social work, and institutional conditions contribute to enabling migrant girls and young Romnja to participate sustainably in formal education and to shape their educational pathways in a self-determined manner.
To achieve this, the three subprojects - Education and Self-Determination of Young Romnja (German Child Protection Association Halle e.V.), Peer-to-Peer Learning (AWO SPI), and Development and Coordination (Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg) - evaluate existing educational programmes, further develop them, and translate the findings into teaching materials and professional development measures for educational staff in schools and social work settings.
Because these efforts take place within structures shaped by multiple mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion, continuous reflection on the perspectives and positionalities of all participants is an integral component of the consortium’s work.
In addition, participating girls are empowered through training programmes and creative workshops that critically address antigypsyism, racism, classism, and sexism.
