Romanian Case study - IDEE Project

This case study is part of the collection of  five case studies analyzing findings from the debates organized within the IDEE project.

The Romanian case study is structured into two more substantial parts. The first part is offering a background discussion regarding Roma students’ trajectories in the Romanian public school system, outlining mostly forms of disenfranchisement experienced by students. It is here that Roma high school students’ status, the particular target group of the project, in public education are also highlighted. The second part  dwells on the particularities of the project as it was implemented in April-June 2010. As the Romanian project entailed nine different Citizens Panels in nine different locations, this case study is, in fact, a comparative summary of (most of) these nine different events.
