Shere Rom: creating a microculture for educational inclusion
Abstract
School failure and early drop out is an important issue in our country (Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura, 2012) especially in certain minority groups (Fernández – Enguita, Mena y Riviere, 2010). In that paper, we analyse the contradictions between the school and the Roma communities and how these contradictions are affecting the participation of these communities in school. It is proposed and discussed the experience of an educational intervention model that favours the creation of an own microculture and promotes inclusive education based on the recognition of cultural diversity in different contexts of socialization. Finally, we discuss the results of implementing this model and we offer new suggestions for improvement, to contribute to the creation of a school that more than being called intercultural it really is.
