Needs Assesment of Roma in Italy

For the WP2 – Needs Assessment, Codici has involved institutions, organizations and Roma individuals, thus disseminating the aims and actions of Finally project. Codici has contacted 23 professionals working in various departments offering social assistance to Roma people in the Municipality of Bologna and in NGOs. These facilitated the contact with 5 Roma mediators working in the area. About 20 Roma individuals were directly contacted by the field researchers and 9 of them accepted to be interviewed: they are both male and female, Italian Sinti, Romanian and Balkan Roma, living in houses or in camps, and with different occupational statuses. The researchers had the occasion of visiting their houses and spend some time with them seeing how their living conditions are.
