2. 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.
3. Strategies of the government
There are many laws with connections to our
theme, we just name the direction we need to
research on:
Romanian Constitution
Laws regarding to human rights
For Roma people
For combating poverty
All connected to the European Laws
4. All layers fo management influences the good
perception for integration of the poor:
Institutions
Economical levels
Ong levels
Even 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
5. 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 necessary
to make large investments both in family and especially in the valorisation of the children’s
intellectual and social potential. Thus, we will create the grounds for these children to become
adults
with increased professional competences by means of which to overcome the poverty that their
families face.
In 2008, the Romanian Ministry of Education, Research and Innovation initiated the setting up of
some special classes in the excellence schools from the county capitals, classes to include children
with very good results, but who come from families with no resources or who learn in isolated
communes, where there are no optimum conditions for study. One of the most important events of
the
European Year in Romania addresses these children. The event proposed shall consist of a skills
contest (not one of school knowledge), for the children/pupils from the excellence classes with ages
ranging from 10-14, with a precarious family situation and with exceptional school results. The
contest shall be coordinated through county work cells, consisting of representatives of the county
school inspectorates, of the general directorates of social assistance and child protection and of the
county labour and social protection directorates and it shall promote the children’s involvement in
all
the related activities of organisation. The jury may consist of Romanian personalities, who can be
joined by children with special skills. The papers and proposals of the children taking part to the
competition shall be published on an especially dedicated page on the internet site of the year.
6. 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.
At
national level about 400 children will compete. Depending on the number of papers received,
it is
taken 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
them
improve 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
International
Children’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 from
the child protection system.
7. Organization of events and reunions debating the
problems related to poverty and social
exclusion;
Organization of information and education
campaigns to raise the citizens’ awareness on the

9. Diferent actors combined with a good
curricculum:, begining with the goverment and
finishing with teachers and conseilors
All activity in school, the way education
reaches its members can be efective on this
subbegect more than this the extra
educacational activyties have greater role.
10. Library
In this institutions we have most efect with little
effort, in Toplita there is Biblionet Programme,
financed by Irex Romania, here every day more
that 15 kids of all ages and more of them roma
people come to use internet, implicate in cultural
activities and they are ofered the servicies withe
the respect for human right with no difference, and
above all at institution level they are educated,
obliged to respect internal rules that of respectful
comunication and care for the patrimonial objects.
We put examples:
20. 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
22. People should have job, work facilities, and a
decent salary
23. 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
24. 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.
25. We all form society
- Follow
a model, create a model that
gains trust, this can be the way
to resolve issues around you
Cause there is no perfect model
