Roma paraprofessionals—working as assistants, mediators, and community liaisons—play a crucial role in supporting Roma children’s access to equitable early childhood education and care. Yet, they often face limited access to structured training and recognition. To address this gap, the INVAC project has launched two new resources now available on the REYN Knowledge Hub:

CHAVORE: A Groundbreaking Approach to Supporting Roma Children's Well-Being  What does it take to create real, lasting change that ensures the well-being of young Roma children and allows them to grow toward promising futures? It starts with listening—really listening—to the communities themselves.

This program for cooperation with Roma parents was collectively designed and implemented by eight educational institutions from Serbia. After analyzing the implementation and feedback from the parents and other involved actors and with the support of Indigo and mentors, they chose the examples of good practice of cooperation with Roma parents. The publication consists of the introduction, information on all institutions, 29 examples of good practice and an afterword.

The European REYN Early Childhood Research Study (the REYN Study) provides an examination of the status of young Roma children and their families across Europe. It offers a comprehensive understanding of the multi-layered and intersectional nature of the challenges faced by young Roma children and their families. The REYN Study presents key findings from a thorough analysis of data on key areas of the lives of young Roma children and their families.
