Second National Working Group:

"The teenager’s conditions within Roma community”

(Rome, 21th July 2006)

As it came out from discussion, the theme of  teenagers in the Roma community is very much interesting,  though not much discussed. 

Some good practices were underlined, especially in the city of Florence. Major evidence came from the sexual problems (how sexuality and affectivity are experienced and the risks related to an unaware sexual activity) and the use of drugs.

Within a logic of prevention, which obviously seems to be the most interesting field of action, particularly important are considered the activities developed in contact with the families and the school as well as those related to peer-education
