In an effort to combat the marginalisation of the Roma people and to contribute to their full integration into society, the Council of Europe has published factsheets ‘Protecting the Rights of Roma’.
Key to the process of integration is the education of both Roma and non-Roma. Knowledge about the history and culture of the Roma nation, which numerically is the largest minority in Europe, is still very low. The factsheets aim at filling this gap in order to bring the different cultures closer together.

Intercultural education is one of the leading aspects for modernization of Bulgarian education system to answer the needs of children and their parents. Intercultural education is directed both, to minority and majority children. Its major goal is building mutual knowledge about each other, tolerance and friendship among all students.
