The Council of Europe's Education Department has published the results of its Romani-Plurilingual Policy Experimentation (RPPE, 2022–2025). The project's central lesson is a simple one: recognising and valuing every learner's language transforms the school experience. The findings appear in two end-of-project publications: the Final Report and the revised policy guidelines "The role of the Romani language in the educational inclusion of Roma children and young people: plurilingual education in action" (revised August 2025), accompanied by a pedagogical guide.

Carried out in ten schools across Greece, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia, the project found that including Romani language and culture in school life raised Roma students' self-esteem, motivation and engagement, fostered social cohesion and empathy among non-Roma students, and helped teachers work in more inclusive ways. It also benefited immigrant and other minority-language learners. The guidelines distil five general principles for the educational inclusion of Roma and other linguistic and cultural minorities, offering member states a tested set of pedagogical procedures to bridge the gap between policy and classroom practice.
