Summary/Abstract: The Roma community is often caught between two perspectives – is seen either from a positive point of view, or a negative one. Around the world exist organizations that continually emphasize the rights of the Roma population and the positive aspects that are found in their culture. In this article we will consider exploring a range of appreciative models from Roma community; called by us "success stories" that are shaped around this community. Among the elements analyzed, we will stop on the process of appreciative inquiry, in terms of which we will refer to the "success stories" collected from the media and specialized literature.
