La comunità come cornice educativa. Tra le bambine e i bambini rom Xoraxane

The purpose of this search is to understand the educational reality that concerns children of a Rom ethnic group. The choice of the group is motivated from the fact that it deals with a marginal context in comparison to our society, little studied, particularly as it concerns the educational characteristics. Their conditions of life and the prejudices that burden of them sometimes in a dangerous way from society sectors in which we live, constitute besides a barrier to the relationships ,to the exchanges and the mutual understanding. Inside this group I notice the presence of a range of matters that were already object of my interest on scientific field. The education in family with the definition of the roles, the female matter, the scholastic abandonment and the forestall of adulthood, the children schooling, the passage from orality to writing, the integration problems. The debate and the reflection on Rom culture with it’s manifold aspects and in the difficulty of relationship with the majority culture are object of attention from different points of view: anthropological, social and political, educational. Close to the problematic knots some positive aspects inherent the same educational trial are emerged. Whereas the education becomes sharing of lived ,if children learn to give sense to the things, to the event and the people. This job, with all the limit of a search that doesn’t pretend to give exhaustive answers ,find its theoretical justification into the intercultural pedagogy, which sustains that the educational engagement doesn’t exhaust in the recognition of the cultural traces but that it will stay opened and allow to be put in discussion from the meeting of the difference.
