Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the reasons for various negative indicators of health and lifestyle of the Romany minority. Special attention is paid to Romany students attending a primary school. Based on the acquired empirical and research data we emphasize educational opportunities of the program of health-education intervention. The program introduces an educational strategy pursuing the support of cognitive and other abilities and predispositions of Romany students with regard to health. The paper highlights the motivating and innovative potential of pro-health intervention programs that contribute to a positive development of the cognitive and emotional life of Romany students.
