Target learners
The target learners of LAIL are people willing to learn literature writing, future or current writers with Romani background and influence. The trainers to work on the module are professionals that are involved in the literature sector or related to it and professionals that support Romani integration to the EU (e.g., social workers, VET teachers, assistance, volunteers, …).
Training materials
The main training materials are separated in a Paper Act and an Art Lesson for Romani people. The Paper Act is developed around Roma background and information that will help with the pedagogical aspect of the Art lesson, which is a studio project that explores literature art with hands-on, creative activities and active discussions.
