7. CONCLUSIONS
www.beams‐project.eu
beams‐project.eu
MAIN FINDINGS FROM THE INTERVIEWS •
The image of this group in media is negative and frequently appears associated with activities as begging and crime.
•
The mechanisms for creation of stereotypes in the audience have been generated by the visibility of the group in the streets, the image of the media and personally experiences.
•
The proximity indicator is a main element in the generation of negative opinions towards this collective.
•
There has been a positive change in the case of the stereotypes of spanish gypsies but in the case of romanian gypsies the stereotypes are maintained along the time.
•
The best mechanism for promoting positive change both the collective and the stereotypes created for them is the incorporation of children into the education system.
beams‐project.eu
MAIN FINDINGS FROM FOCUS GROUPS •
There is a lack of interaction between Romanian Roma population and the rest of society despite having lived together in nearby spaces for several years.
•
The ignorance towards the Romanian gypsy community by both general society and media, together with the negative image of them projected in the media, awakens feelings of fear and distrust in the majority society.
•
The feedback from open meetings has confirmed the presence of everyday discriminations, regardless of age, social class and context in which they arise.
•
The common speech that "not want to integrate, they like to live apart", makes the collective responsible of its situation, assuming and thus justifying the attitude of rejection towards them.
beams‐project.eu
PERCEPTION AND SELF‐PERCEPTION OF THE ROMANIAN GYPSY GROUP. RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER MINORITIE •
There are usually more conflicts and prejudices among minorities than among the majority society and the minorities.
•
The romanians reject the romanian gypsies in Spain and in Romania and blame them for the bad image about them.
•
The spanish gypsy minority also tends to differ from romanian gypsies.
•
Some members of this collective try to “invisible” those traits that can fit to the stereotypical image of romanian gypsy and are susceptible to rejection and discrimination.
beams‐project.eu
8. BEST PRACTISES • Remove stereotypes providing real data.
• Train social agents who work more directly with the roma population.
• Advice to media workers and responsible for making decisions in the media about information that affects the romanian roma.
• Develop awareness compaigns that make visible the positive changes of the romanian roma population mainly in the media.
• Not duplicate existing resources. It is advisable to reinforce existing good practices and if necessary modify and improve them.
