He bases in this presentation on the book by Bagele Chilisa, professor at the University of Botswana who is researcher represented this paradigm and author of methodological monograph under the title Indigenous research methodologies (2012).

The subject of this paper is the issue of the international Romani movement and the influence of the European Union’s activities and policy on its development. The special emphasis was placed on the history of the process of mobilization of the Roma within the framework of international non‑governmental organizations and the creation of new organizations and platforms on European level involving many activists and organization from various European countries. Can we still speak about international Romani organizations or are they only a relict in the face of European integration and European umbrella organizations and initiatives? This article tries to find some answers to this question.

One Culture or Multiple Cultures? The Diversity of Roma People in PolandThere are no universal criteria which would be useful to describe the diversity of all of the Roma. Their presence in given country is linked to adaptive processes to majority societies. It is the majority that creates condition and space to which minorities need to adapt somehow. The results of the above-mentioned adaptive processes also vary and depend on an external context. The attitude of given populations towards minorities and the current political and economic situation of given country, where the Roma settled had and still has significant influence on mentioned processes. The way of life of different Romani groups has also a great importance, because sedentary way of life (typical for most European Roma) and external influences especially on culture and models of lifestyle also furthered the adaptive processes. The cultural diversity among the Roma is the case not only with the groups living in different countries. It needs to be emphasized that the Roma who have lived in one country for centuries are not a homogenous group in terms of their culture. Previous migration processes and sedentary or nomadic way of life had a great influence on this internal diversity. In Poland with four distinguished Romani groups such diversity occurs between Carpathian Roma (Bergitka Roma, Polish Highlander Roma) and traditionally nomadic groups: Polska Roma, Lovara, Kelderari. This article is mainly based on available sources and dissertations on the subject. However it refers to the field research regarding the use of European Union’s funds for the Roma community in Poland, which was conducted by the author in 2010 and 2011. Kultura jedna czy wieloraka? Zróżnicowanie populacji romskiej w PolsceNie istnieją uniwersalne kryteria użyteczne w opisie zróżnicowania wszystkich Romów. Ich obecność w danym kraju wiąże się z procesami adaptowania się do społeczeństw większościowych. To większość tworzy warunki i przestrzeń, do których mniejszości muszą się jakoś przystosować. Skutki wspomnianych procesów adaptacyjnych także są różne i zależą od kontekstu zewnętrznego.  W znacznym stopniu wpływa na to postawa danej populacji wobec mniejszości oraz aktualna sytuacja polityczno-ekonomiczna kraju, w którym osiedlają się Romowie. Sposób życia rożnych grup romskich także ma ogromne znaczenie, ponieważ osiadły tryb życia (typowy dla większości europejskich Romów) i wpływy zewnętrzne odzwierciedlające się w kulturze i stylach życia również kształtują owe procesy. Zróżnicowanie kulturowe Romów dotyczy nie tylko grup żyjących w różnych państwach. Trzeba podkreślić, iż Romowie od stuleci zamieszkujący dane państwo również nie stanowią jednorodnej grupy w kategoriach kultury własnej. Wcześniejsze procesy migracyjne oraz osiadłby bądź wędrowny tryb życia wywierały ogromny wpływ na owo zróżnicowanie. W Polsce, przy czterech różnych grupach romskich, taka różnorodność rodzi się między Romami karpackimi (Bergitka Roma, góralscy Romowie) a tradycyjnie wędrownymi grupami: Polska Roma, Lovara, Kelderari. Niniejszy artykuł opiera się na dostępnych źródłach i dotychczasowych opracowaniach tematu, odwołując się również do badania wykorzystywania funduszy unijnych przez społeczność romską w Polsce, przeprowadzonego przez autorkę w latach 2010-2011.

This paper deals with the representation of ethnic minorities in the media, focusing mainly on the role of the journalist. It approaches news stories through the prism of the media construction of reality and the cultural concept of representation. Using critical discourse analysis, the study describes the nature of the social reality constructed by the TV news series “Where Others Fear to Tread.” The paper reflects the general attributes of the representation of the Roma minority in the news, pointing out methods and signs used for emphasizing the stereotypes shared by the majority. The analysis shows that the media discourse of news stories could potentially confirm prejudices towards the Roma minority, forming the image of Roma people as essentially maladjusted, dangerous and suspicious individuals.

Antigypsyism has been and still is a part of Roma and non-Roma relations. It also refers to activities that, paradoxically, are dedicated to Roma, although it would seem that there is no connection between stigmatization and willingness to help. These are two opposing poles. Because we rarely want to support those we don’t like. Therefore, if the Roma are helped, it means that they are liked, that someone cares about them and that someone cares that the Roma live a better life. The problem is what lies beneath the enigmatic term „better” and how the boundaries are set, the achievement of which will testify to the success of the activities. Tee purpose of this article is to analyse the content and circumstances related to the implementation assistance programs dedicated to Roma in the context of existing stereotypes and prejudices towards Roma.

The publication discusses the Polish Socialist Party's (PPS) attitude to Gypsies and the Gypsy question in the interwar period from 1918 to 1939. An extensive search of the PPS press, including around 1600 articles on the Gypsy population, has shown that this issue also interested the PPS. However, the socialists had a decidedly negative attitude to Gypsies. This was conditioned by the fact that the party found itself in opposition to the government camp, which supported the aspirations of Gypsy kings from the Kwiek clan, and it was with them that the PPS identified Gypsies. Secondly, the strong ideologization of the party's press, based among other things on the cult of work, led to a rejection of the lifestyle of the majority of Gypsies, who represented a nomadic and semi-nomadic culture of life.

The article analyzes the situation of the Roma people in the Lubuskie Region in the years 1945-1989. Being part of the so-called “Western Territories”, the Lubuskie Region, first as the Zielona Góra Voivodship and later divided into Zielona Góra Voivodship and Gorzów Voivodship, attracted a number of ethnic minorities, including Gypsies. “e article presents how local political and security authorities reacted to the presence of the Roma people, adapting central laws, most notably the 1964 forced settlement bill, to local situation. In their analysis, the authors use documents held in various local and central archives, including the Institute of National Remembrance archive and Ministry of the Interior archive.

Roma people are one of the most colourful minorities in Poland and arouse interest and controversy among contemporary Polish society, nearly monolithic in terms of ethnic origin and nationality. At present, the socio-economic situation of Roma people in Poland and in other European countries is difficult and marked with social exclusion. In the article the author identifies and describes the following symptoms of social exclusion experienced by Roma people in Poland: lack of tolerance in Polish majority, problems relating to the functioning on the labour market and access to education, low standard of living as well as the need for some actions for Roma people in Poland to be taken by governmental authorities. The author refers in the article to numerous results of current surveys on the attitude adopted by Poles towards Roma people, which prove intolerant attitude of Poles to this minority. The second fact that, in the author’s opinion, confirms social exclusion of Roma people in Poland is extremely high unemployment rate (90%) among Polish Roma, a consequence of disappearance of typical Roma professions, cultural limitations, stereotypes and very low level of education. This last reason further proves social exclusion of Roma people, although the situation in this respect is dynamically changing. As a result of actions taken by governmental authorities and because of financial support and creation of a post of a Roma assistant and a support teacher since 2004 Roma children have been widely attending schools. Roma ethnic minority is also excluded because of its very low standard of living characterised by the author on the basis of her own research carried out in the Małopolska Region. At the end of the article the author indicates governmental actions aimed at fighting the symptoms of social exclusion taken within the “Program for the Roma Community in Poland”.

Upbringing and education and education of pupils of Roma origin are changing, because of the specificity of this ethnic group and the established methods of education. The most important changes are in the student-teacher relationship. The teacher is not only a educator, but also a mentor of the child's development. Teachers have to support the emotional development of the individual and to give real support in difficult situations. in modern school it is very important to raise the effectiveness of the didactic process and upbringing. Learning must be interesting and attractive for students. The feelings and experiences of every person and the spiritual dimension of life are very important. Contemporary concepts in the center of attention put development of individual human abilities and predispositions. Education of Roma pupils is the subject of many discussions, not only in Slovakia, but also in those European countries, where Roma minorities live in. Particularly noteworthy are innovative education methods aimed at Roma students, and related to inclusive education.

Výchova a vzdelávanie rómskych žiakov prechádza mnohými zmenami, ktoré vyplývajú zo samotnej podstaty uvedeného etnika, tiež z nastolených spôsobov edukácie, ktoré si vyžiadala samotná doba. Medzi najpodstatnejšiu zmenu považujeme vzťah medzi žiakom a učiteľkou. Učiteľvychovávateľ už nie je niekto, kto len vychováva a vzdeláva, ale je facilitátorom (uľahčovateľom) výchovy dieťaťa. Požiadavky, ktoré sú kladené na súčasného učiteľa sú v oblasti profesionality - edukačná oblasť, ako aj v oblasti samotnej emocionality ku každému jedincovi. Dieťa – žiak, ale predovšetkým ten zo sociálne znevýhodneného prostredia by svojho učiteľa mal vnímať ako niekoho, kto sa oň skutočne zaujíma a dokáže mu pomôcť. Súčasná moderná škola má veľký záujem zefektívniť vyučovací proces a to tak, aby učenie bolo pre žiakov zaujímavé a príťažlivé. Veľký význam sa kladie na cítenie a prežívanie človeka, na jeho skúsenosti, mravný či duchovný rozmer. Z týchto dôvodov sa v posledných desaťročiach rozvíjajú osobnostne a humanisticky orientované koncepcie, ktoré zdôrazňujú autentickú sebarealizáciu schopností a možností človeka prostredníctvom takej aktivity, ktorá podnecuje vnútorné potencie rozvoja osobnosti. Edukácia rómskych žiakov je často diskutovanou témou, a to nielen na Slovensku, ale aj v Európe, kde Rómovia žijú. Jednou z najdôležitejších oblastí, ktoré si zasluhujú našu pozornosť sú inovatívne metódy edukácie rómskych žiakov v spojitosti s inkluzívnym vzdelávaním žiakov zo sociálne znevýhodneného prostredia.
