The realization of the governmental program of the integration of the Roma people in Poland. The case of the Lubuskie voivodship

Abstract

The realization of the governmental program of the integration of the Roma people in the Lubuskie voivodeship is characterized by the understanding of and respect for the Gypsy identity. The assistance that Gypsies receive makes their situation better, especially in the sphere of education. What is more, in the local environment there has been fewer conflicts and troubles between the Roma people and their neighbors. The positive effects of the governmental program result from the dialogue between governmental institutions and the recipients of the program.
