New project: NGOization of school-to-work transition among Roma youth (NGOST)

October 10, 2019

A new 24-month long comparative research project led by Abel Beremenyi, Marie S. Curie Individual Fellow at CPS, started in September 2019.

The project aims at critically examining policies and programmes that support school-to-work transition (STWT) reaching out to Roma youth. It focuses particularly on the ‘NGOization’ of STWT programmes, that is the delegation of state functions to private entities, as a technique of neoliberal governance of minorities. Research will be conducted in three EU countries: Hungary, Slovakia and Spain.
