The Beginning of the Europeanisation Process for the Roma People and Their European Identity

Andrei Ștefan Ghimiși
Abstract The Roma community has a very long and interesting history in connection with the European space. For hundreds of years they have walked through different countries, having shared their cultural values in each country they stayed. Some have managed to include some of their values into their own cultural traditions, others had a more conservative way of living and did not consider the Roma people as one of their own. In order to resolve some of these issues, the European institutions have offered the Roma community and its people a new identity, one that comes with certain privileges that will surely help them develop. By offering them the status of European minority, the people of Roma origin enter a new form of living, based on common values that are shared through every state in the European context, described as the Europeanisation process.

Reprezentarea romilor în manualele școlare din Uniunea Europeană

Andrei Ștefan Ghimiși
Abstract The Roma people have been the subject of many wrongdoings and obstacles since their first appearance in the European space. As the largest minority in Europe, the people of Roma origin have managed to influence, more or less, the culture of many countries in the European Union. The analysis will consider multiple educational areas such as history, geography or civic culture where Roma are represented in a different way, depending on their history in that territory. Particular attention will be paid to Germany because it offers a number of extremely well-applied methods and practices while having few people of Roma origin.
