Summary: | The hypothesis from which we initiate our approach is that the socio-cultural identity of
the Romanian nation is configured by involving all participants to the act of coexistence, the Romany
people having in turn a significant participation. In order to highlight this contribution, we propose in
this paper operationalizing the concept of active cohabitation and the presentation of some Romany
personalities, who have added value through their national culture. If, in our view, multiculturalism is
none other but simply living together in the same area of two or more ethnic groups, two or more
cultures, or two or more religions, between which there are established and produced relations of
certain types, at certain times, the interculturalism being beyond the static or contemplative nature
thereof, and basing on multiculturalism, it requires knowledge, appreciation, and mutual learning and
conscious use of norms, values, customs, processes or technologies, leading to a common patrimony,
each usable according to the moments, situations and circumstances, which increases the stock of
mutual appreciation. |
