During the month of June 2019, the team working within the project „MISTO AVILEAN!” visited eight educational institutions and met over 33 educational specialists (school directors, teachers, inspectors of minorities) from three counties (Dolj, Olt and Gorj). They offered us details related to difficulties encountered by children of Roma ethnicity in school integration, especially in the context of the temporary migration of their parents in other countries.
