ABSTRACT

The heterogenic Sinti and Roma communities in Europe are usually made visible as poor and less integrated minority groups, while the well-integrated and assimilated Roma remain invisible. Documented research activities on the role of education and the development of good practices for the integration of Roma minority groups into majority societies on the background of their history, tradition and culture do not only refer to the qualification of civil society projects but also to their potential contribution of influencing and changing social policy and institutional structures.
