HERO project develops a comprehensive training programme to support Roma Inclusion in the labour market.
Within the framework of the HERO project, co-funded by the Interreg Central Baltic Programme 2021–2027, Fida and the Valmiera Development Agency in Latvia have developed a comprehensive training programme aimed at improving the employment opportunities of Roma communities.
The HERO training programme consists of 10 interactive modules combining life skills – such as holistic health, identity, and parenting – with labour market competences including career planning, digital and financial literacy, and workplace culture.
Developed jointly by Fida (Finland) and the Valmiera Development Agency (Latvia), the programme provides a practical and inclusive learning framework tailored to the specific needs of the Roma community. It empowers participants with the confidence, knowledge, and motivation to re-enter the labour market after a period of long-term unemployment.
The material also serves as a valuable resource for trainers, educators, and municipalities across the Central Baltic region who are committed to promoting equal opportunities and social inclusion.
