“…The inequalities faced by the Roma are evident in the light of these data and have increased with COVID-19 (Arza Porras et al, 2020). All this points to the need not only to research on the Roma community, considering also the cultural diversity in research (Erden-Basaran, 2021; Islam, 2020) but also to achieve the social impact of research (Parthenis & Fragoulis, 2020; Pulido et al, 2020).…”

Researching with methodologies focused on social impact in line with the SDGs is one of the priority orientations of the Horizon Europe program, as shown in the official European Commission document on impacts for this program. In this sense, researchers must forecast how their project will improve citizens' lives. Until now, many investigations showed the evaluation of the social impact through knowledge transfer activities that, although undoubtedly important, are not enough since the social impact is defined as the improvements derived from using the knowledge transferred to society. The search for the social impact of new research requires the introduction of impact indicators from the design, throughout the project development, and when the project ends. The introduction of indicators, in particular if they are decided in dialogue with the participants, allows not only to foresee a greater social impact but also to improve and adjust the methodology to be used. We explore this aspect in the context of research with social impact that starts from how the COVID-19 pandemic is increasing the inequalities suffered by the Roma population, causing the aggravation and creation of new problems and needs. Thus, we explain in detail how the selection of indicators that monitor the social impact, in dialogue with the Roma population, allows the design of research projects that are more appropriate to the current context.

“…In addition to class divides, it is crucial to note that young people from minority groups or conditions of social exclusion seldom enrol in the most prestigious postcompulsory educational programmes. Moreover, these same youth disproportionately suffered the consequences of the latest crises (Arza Porras et al, 2020;Blustein et al, 2020;Ferrari, 2020;Korunovska & Jovanovic, 2020;O'Reilly et al, 2019). Not only has participation in a globalized economy led to the replacement of standard employment with precarious, diversified, flexible, destandardised and unpredictable careers (du Bois-Reymond & López Blasco, 2004;Heinz, 2009;Pohl & Walther, 2007), making it difficult for young people to plan and coordinate the multiple transitions to adulthood and particularly to work, but neglect and discrimination have constrained the agency of these groups.…”

Investigar experiencias de transición entre fases de la vida, particularmente en momentos de cambios profundos, ayuda a comprender las estructuras y las relaciones más profundas de las sociedades (Walther et al., 2022). Mientras que la juventud, la adultez y la vejez se distinguían claramente a mediados del siglo XX, más adelante la adultez se ha encabalgado sobre la juventud, sobre todo porque la transición de la escuela al trabajo ya no es un proceso lineal y unidireccional. Debido a profundas transformaciones socioeconómicas, el mercado laboral y la distribución del ingreso han desdibujado cada vez más estas distinciones.

The Roma is the most excluded non-migrant ethnic minority in Europe, facing prejudice, intolerance, discrimination, and social exclusion in their daily lives. This has led to a huge gap in several social domains between the Roma and non-Roma created for centuries. The COVID-19 pandemic has only increased the social and health inequalities that the Roma faced. In this context, it is important to identify actions that have been successful in mitigating the effects that the COVID-19 has had in increasing such inequalities. This paper presents the findings of a mixed-method study carried out in Catalonia (Spain) with the participation of more than 500 Roma, who reported their experience. The study results confirm the significant vulnerability and the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Roma communities. Our research also highlights several successful actions developed by the Integrated Plan for the Roma of the Catalan Government, such as health literacy and adult education, as having a positive impact on the quality of life of many Roma during the health and social crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper suggests that the lessons learned from Catalonia could be transferred to other contexts across Europe and guide decision makers to promote the social inclusion and quality of life of the Roma, protecting Roma communities during current and future pandemics.
