Part of the Closing Conference of RPPE in Bratislava

The Council of Europe is pleased to invite you to a webinar that marks the conclusion of the Romani-Plurilingual Policy Experimentation (RPPE), launched in 2022 in Greece, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The RPPE has explored ways of using Romani language and culture to support the educational inclusion of Roma pupils in primary education.

Closely linked to the Council of Europe’s Recommendation on the importance of plurilingual and intercultural education for democratic culture (CM/Rec(2022)1), the RPPE has addressed the gap between policy and classroom practice by developing approaches and activities specific to each school’s student cohort and context.

Highlights of the programme:

• Opening remarks – Sarah Breslin, Executive Director, European Centre for Modern Languages and Head of Language Policy, Council of Europe
• Overview of the RPPE and its objectives – David Little, Academic Coordinator
• Presentations by country teams from Greece, Slovak Republic, Slovenia

This webinar offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the practical application of the Council of Europe’s concept of plurilingual and intercultural education in schools and classrooms and to consider their relevance both for the educational inclusion of Roma pupils as well as of learners from other linguistic and cultural minorities.

Join us to learn, exchange and contribute to inclusive education.

Register here until 2 June 2025.
