Abstract:
This paper gives an outlook on social issues with the Crimean Turk-Tatar community and their social and educational challenges in a Europe under social and economic crisis. This research attempts to focus on Crimean Turk-Tatars social issues rather than on historical and political environment, but they cannot be separated. The aim of my research is to identify the influence of indicators as - historical and political environment, to underline social issues, and how they influenced community’s day-to-day life. This study is based on face-to-face interviews conducted in February, July and August 2016, participant observation and content analysis of documents with the National Archives of Romania, Constan Ń a County District and Constan Ń a County Library “Ioan N. Roman”. Case study of this paper is the ethnic minority of Crimean Turk-Tatars and some of their social and educational issues. The body of the paper is based on a study done by All Minorities at Risk (AMAR), which qualifies Crimean Turk-Tatars as an ethnic minority at risk, and on the chart provided by UNESCO, which identifies socio-linguistics aspects of endangered languages qualifies the Crimean Tatar language as one of the severely endangered languages. Also, I identified the European Charter for Regional or Minority languages and its educational policies. Finally, my paper shows the community challenges in building communicational bridges based on mutual respect of differences.
