Melgar, Patricia; Larena, Rosa; Ruiz, Laura; Rammel, Stephanie – European Journal of Education, 2011
In its growth strategy for the coming decade, the EU recognises the Roma as one of several groups especially affected by poverty and social vulnerability. So far, many efforts to reverse this social exclusion have failed; imposed solutions based on power relations have ignored Roma voices and suggestions from the community. As a result, the EU now…

Franco, Carmella S.; Ott, Maria G.; Robles, Darline P. – Corwin, 2011
Extending democracy into schools so that every child has the opportunity to achieve is the topic of many books and conversations.

This article presents seven principles for creating…
