SUMMARY:

This study aims to analyze the educational processes of Romani children and teenagers from the Rom group and their perceptions about school. The goal is to understand the values they place on formal education, as well as the reasons these children and teenagers are not enrolled, or if enrolled, why they do not stay in school. This research also seeks to examine their relationship with their native language, Romani, which stands as a significant symbol of belonging and identity for this community. To achieve this, an effort is made to create a historical profile of this segment of the population, which is often subject to discrimination and anti-Gypsyism. This is done to better understand their unique characteristics, as gaining insight is considered crucial for overcoming prejudice. We also review the legal landmarks pertaining to the Romani people, especially concerning education, in an attempt to pinpoint the role of these legal provisions in setting up guidelines that promote the actual inclusion of the Romani people in formal schooling. Additionally, this research looks into the "Kalinka Project: Gypsies in My School – An Invisible Story", which employs a pedagogical approach grounded in intercultural practices, incorporating the culture, traditions, and way of life of the Romani people into the realm of formal education. This study operates on the belief that interculturality and the surrounding education, as seen through the lens of Maher (2007), are essential for an inclusive education that fosters dialogue between different cultures, like the Romani and non-Romani cultures present in schools. Through qualitative research, adopting a perspective of 'otherness', and with input from 5 (five) Romani children and teenagers from the Rom group, we aimed to hear this demographic segment from their viewpoint. It was concluded that despite the positive value assigned to schools by the research participants, the institution is still not adequately equipped to welcome those who do not align with the dominant societal values. Besides being absent from curriculums and pedagogical practices, there is also an evident unpreparedness of the teaching staff to deal with diversity in the classroom. It is hoped that this study can broaden the discussion on the schooling of Romani children and teenagers, a topic on which there are few published studies in Brazil, and aid in crafting educational projects and policies that address the unique needs of this population segment.
