At the end of March, we participated in a five-day study tour with our colleagues and NGO partners in Ghent (Belgium) and Leiden (Netherlands), organised by the International Childhood Development Initiatives (ICDI).

We have helped several partners to strengthen interprofessional cooperation with local kindergartens in the “Early Years Matter” Program. We also visited the local kindergarten in Szomolya with Irén Lázár, head of the Hungarian Roma Association of Szomolya, where we brought LEGO and DUPLO donations worth more than HUF 200,000 to help children enjoy learning through play.

The deadline for CSOs to submit their applications to the first calls of Union Values Programme was 2 pm on 20 March 2023.

In the "Early Years Matter" Program "On the Move" project was closed by the Real Pearl Foundation. Pre-school clubs and movement classes were held for preschool children with the involvement of development specialists, and regular baby-mum clubs were organised.  They will continue their activities after the project's closure, thus helping the families of Told.

The National Association of Roma Women of the 21st Century concluded its SYROM Playhouse 3.0 project in the Early Years Matter Programme with a visit to a puppet theatre. Assistance had been provided to disadvantaged Roma families living in Nyíregyháza-Jósaváros.
