| Title | Social Integration of the Roma and the Afterschool Movement in Hungary |
| Summary | The thesis investigates the role of the extracurricular afterschool movement in the social integration of the Roma minority in Hungary. The main argument is that there is a great potential for these programs to transcend their original role and engage in practices of community development that ultimately strengthens the educative aim as well. This thesis aims to dig deeper in the process taking the case of the “Tabán Model for Integration” in Monor, Hungary. My research questions are: how embedded is the project, how it is perceived by various local actors/institutions and to what extent it engages in practices of community development? To inquire about these questions, I made 14 interviews, with various local groups, the Tanoda employees, the local stakeholders and the target group of the Tanoda. Based on the results of the analysis of the interviews, the Tanoda program can be regarded as very much embedded and is perceived to be a successful program by all parties. Even though, the community development capacity of the program was not assessed due to small number of interviews with the members of the target group, based on the observations and the interviews that were made so far, it seems to be less efficient then it’s interest negotiation capacity. |
