Dream to Grow

For Roma children, it is as if a red ribbon is placed around their wrist the day they are born. Deeply ingrained ideas about Roma across Europe have spun a cycle of discriminatory practices and prejudices. The Dream to Grow campaign shares stories of success. It highlights what happens when there is a diverse early childhood workforce and how a little support can go a long way in the life of a child if we all:

Recognize each child’s unique potential, encourage their dreams, and help them blossom.

Nurture professionalism and belonging among all Roma early childhood professionals — valuing their contribution to the field.
