Romania

Poverty and social exclusion are processes encountered all over the world. More and more often, social exclusion is employed to explain the poverty

phenomenon, without aiming to replace it. The existence of poverty supposes a deficit in financial resources, opposite to social exclusion, an ample and specific concept found at the level of every society, which tries

to study the social consequences associated with the participation of individuals in the community life.

Social exclusion can be a cause of poverty, conflict and social insecurity; it can explain why some people or groups remain poor while others manage to

transcend this condition, why they dispose of less and less food or get a kind of food that does not ensure the necessary nutritional elements, why they are less involved in the economic and political activities designed for

them or why they have limited access or no access at all to social services. On the other hand, if we take into account the fact that the process

of exclusion develops in particular circumstances, when individuals no longer benefit from minimum living standards or are deprived of the material

goods necessary for their subsistence, we can assume that the poverty phenomenon lies at the basis of social exclusion.

However, at the same time, those who are excluded are not always poor. It is possible that they have no access whatsoever to community life or to their rights for reasons other than those related to their material status.

The condition of poverty reflected by the lack of bare necessities can determine implicitly the condition of social exclusion. Don’t decent living

standards also involve participation in the social life? Nevertheless, the fight against social exclusion supposes not only financial resources but also a series of opportunities which will allow the individual

or the social class to perceive WELFARE.

Strategies of the government

There are many laws with connections to our theme, we just name the direction we need to research on:

Romanian ConstitutionLaws regarding to human rightsFor Roma peopleFor combating povertyAll connected to the European Laws

All layers fo management influences the good perception for integration of the poor:

InstitutionsEconomical levelsOng levelsEven the perception on the TV stars and

perception on corruption , all influences human perception on well fare and inclucion of other human , beeng in this case children

One of Romania’s major objectives in the field of preventing and combating social exclusion refers to

eradicating child poverty. In order to make efficient the effort of the actions achieved, it is necessaryto make large investments both in family and especially in the valorisation of the children’sintellectual and social potential. Thus, we will create the grounds for these children to become

adultswith increased professional competences by means of which to overcome the poverty that theirfamilies face.In 2008, the Romanian Ministry of Education, Research and Innovation initiated the setting up ofsome special classes in the excellence schools from the county capitals, classes to include childrenwith very good results, but who come from families with no resources or who learn in isolatedcommunes, where there are no optimum conditions for study. One of the most important events of

theEuropean Year in Romania addresses these children. The event proposed shall consist of a skillscontest (not one of school knowledge), for the children/pupils from the excellence classes with agesranging from 10-14, with a precarious family situation and with exceptional school results. Thecontest shall be coordinated through county work cells, consisting of representatives of the countyschool inspectorates, of the general directorates of social assistance and child protection and of thecounty labour and social protection directorates and it shall promote the children’s involvement in

allthe related activities of organisation. The jury may consist of Romanian personalities, who can bejoined by children with special skills. The papers and proposals of the children taking part to thecompetition shall be published on an especially dedicated page on the internet site of the year.

Through this contest the ideas of diversity and access to opportunities will be promoted and, thus, the

children will be given the possibility to get involved in various activities: dancing, music, developing

local projects and of social participation.It is taken into consideration the selection of a number of about 10 children from each county.

Atnational level about 400 children will compete. Depending on the number of papers received,

it istaken into consideration also the possibility to organise two semi-finals. The winners are to be

designated based on certain selection criteria focusing on creativity, spirit of initiative and active

social participation in the origin community.The prizes will take into account a long tern support for the children, as some means to help

themimprove their social skills and performances, such as computers and other electronic means of

learning, internet connection, handbooks, encyclopaedias etc.The awarding ceremony shall be held on June 01st, 2010, with the occasion of the

InternationalChildren’s Day.

The 400 children participating to the contest shall be invited and all of them shall receive consolation

prizes and participation certificates.Within the event there will be organized a show by the children from various schools, as well

as fromthe child protection system.

EXAMPLE

Non profit activities should have their necesary role

Churches also have the ability to hold in theys arms the comunity and let tradition work wery easily

Growing economyantreprenorship

People should have job, work facilities, and a decent salary

In this area every exponent of the society has posibilityes of expresing himself , and with the groth of cultural level, the perception and the respect for diversity and rights will grow

Nothing cant be done in the people are not reacting. Comming from a comunist state, centralized services, population is not used to give contructive opinions they most ove all give coments, and not even these are note given publicly.

We all form society- Follow

a model, create a model that gains trust, this can be the way

to resolve issues around youCause there is no perfect model
