Abstract

This article intends to lay out the main social integration opportunities for the Roma by means of the social economy forms as well as the present situation of implementing these initiatives in Romania. The integration of the Roma by forms of social Economy may be an obvious opportunity for these communities. The Social Economy has the capacity to evolve the social cohesion and to promote the active citizenship, to activate the local nets and the communitarian ones too as well as local social support. The high level of unemployment in the Roma communities shows to a low level of school attending or because of a low professional training for getting a good wages. From this point of view the social economy comes with insertion solutions on the work market by professional training programs and offers for places of work. Altogether, the social economy may support the Roma crafts that are on the verge of being forgotten but are looked for on the commercial market. The testing of the knowledge and availability of the socio-economical actors to realize projects underlined the fact that the ONGs have some problems concerning the Roma that have Es projects. These refer to the economical dimension, the support of some projects and a precarious informing of the ONG’s leaders that are involved in the ES activities.
