Gypsy/Roma Ethnic Minority Training at the Apor Vilmos Catholic College in Vác

Abstract

From the very early times various non-Hungarian minorities have always lived in our society. Even St. Stephen I. drew the attention of his son, Imre, to the positive effects of different cultures ’ influence on each other. The relation among the minority groups and the majority might be problematic sometimes but generally their living together is advantageous. This phenomenon is representative in connection with gypsy/roma communities, too (Kállai, 2009). Many articles have already been written about these communities and the existing problems that is why in our short study we are focusing on the Gypsy/Roma ethnic minority kindergarten teacher and primary school teacher training at the Apor Vilmos Catholic College.
