The Roma community has always been of interest to researchers and activists in numerous countries around the world due to its rich history and unique culture. The language, traditions, religion, history, and way of life of the Roma are distinctive and marked by their uniqueness. However, the Roma community also faces significant social and economic challenges that affect their opportunities and quality of life. In this context, working with Roma communities holds great socio-pedagogical significance.
The socio-pedagogical aspects of this work encompass a complex set of measures and strategies, aimed at improving the quality of life for the Roma people, increasing the level of education among children and youth, and promoting their social inclusion and adaptation to a broader society. The relevance of this research is closely tied to the necessity of ensuring the social inclusion of the Roma community, which encounters various forms of discrimination and challenges in various aspects of life. Ensuring human rights for the Roma is a globally relevant issue, and research in the fields of social work and pedagogy can contribute to improving their situation.
This research aims to understand the complex interrelationships between the Roma community and society at large and to identify best practices and strategies that can enhance the lives of Roma communities and facilitate their integration into various aspects of societal life.
The practical significance of this research lies in the possibility of developing programs and initiatives, aimed at improving the lives of Roma communities. These programs will contribute to the social integration of the Roma, the preservation of their culture and identity. Understanding the socio-cultural context of Roma communities and addressing their needs are key to successful work with this community. The research also underscores the importance of combating stigma and discrimination based on ethnicity and promotes the creation of a more just and inclusive society. Supporting the development of Roma communities at the local level, including improving infrastructure and fostering self-organization, is a crucial step in building more resilient and active Roma communities
