In the 1st phase, 3 pilot interviews with Roma adults from villages were conducted. For the next stages of the project we started a collaboration with ACEC (Association for Culture, Education and Communication) to plan the next steps together. With the help of ACEC we have carried out till now 7 interviews with Roma inhabitants. The interviews were conducted according to established selection criteria: 3 interviews with adult women over 25, 3 with men over 25 and 1 with a young Roma aged 22. To reach representativeness of the Roma community, we contacted Roma assistants from eastern Slovakia, where the largest group of Roma population is located. Moreover, we involved experts and stakeholders to obtain information on financial literacy needs of Roma and priorities for financial education.
