This is what some of them said about my services

 

The seminars were very well received and we were delighted at the reaction and the debate that followed, including the much-needed press coverage of this sensitive topic. Feedback from participants has been very positive. I’m pleased to say that the seminars caught the attention of a number of other Embassies in Prague, as well as the Council of Europe, with which we are now working to coordinate our future activities in this area. The seminars helped give real energy and impetus to our internship... We hope that we will be able to cooperate with you again in future, to take advantage of your expertise and valuable contacts.

Half of the Czech part of the seminars called "Sharing models of good practice in the education of Roma with practitioners in the Czech Republic and Slovakia" organized by Lucie Fremlová were organized in cooperation with Equality and the Agency for Social Inclusion.  They took place in February 2012 in several Czech towns and cities including Prague.
The seminars were well organized and very inspiring. The introduction of the practical application of different inclusive educational strategies targeting Roma pupils in different British cities and the pedagogical aspects of inclusive praxes shared by British teachers were especially interesting.

The seminars were beneficial for everyone attending. Local consultants from the Agency for Social Inclusion perceived them as interesting especially because they can use the inspiration in their work with municipalities and schools. Teachers and municipal officers present at the seminar heard directly about the good practice. And journalists reported about seminars and the line of reasoning in a good manner.
The seminars have finally started a wave of media mediated discussion on the issue of segregation of Roma pupils in the Czech educational system.
I am glad that Agency for social inclusion could participate in this project and I hope we will be able to design further cooperation on this issue. It is important for practitioners in the Czech Republic to hear good practice from different countries.

On behalf of Transport for London, the Metropolitam Police Service and the British Transport Police I want to thank you for presenting at the Roma engagement event on 13 April 2012.

Your contribution to the conference helped raise our understanding of Roma communities living in London from the level of anecdote to hard fact. A recent UK submission to the EU Commission's Peer Review on Social Inclusion identified your 2009 mapping report as the only national level source available on Roma communities and as such is invaluable.
