Description of the integration initiative implemented
Rosa talks about her integration in France based on her father's desire to leave Romania. This is how she ended up in France. Not speaking the French language, she and her family joined a group of Romanians already living in a camp in the city of Strasbourg. She mentions the various moves she and her family made between 2007, when they arrived in France, and 2018, when they finally settled in the city of Reims. The family decides to settle in Reims because Rosa has had a suitor and her parents want her to get married as soon as possible before she turns 18. She married a young Romanian man from her community, Rosa was 16 years old at the time of the wedding and her husband was 18.

Personal story
Originally from Romania, Rosa is now 21 years old. She describes her arrival in France as the result of a wish from her parents. After having travelled from town to town for a long time. Her family settled in a camp in the city of Reims because Rosa had a suitor and the latter's family was represented as the wealthiest in the community. The marriage with this man will last 4 months as Rosa will meet another man who is not part of her community. This 19 year old French man gives Rosa a different perspective on her future. He informs her about her rights, especially about schooling. Rosa explains that she is beginning to rebel against her family and refuses to speak Romanian again, expressing herself in French. Her parents, who do not accept this change and who consider that their daughter is a "disgrace" to them, choose to expel her from the camp.

Rosa leaves the camp and moves in with her new boyfriend. She learns to read and write with him.

He then encouraged her to find a job to support herself. She worked as a waitress, a multipurpose employee in a restaurant. Thanks to the Pôle emploi, she enrolled in a training course for a household helper.

In January 2021, she decides to marry this man who supports her in her choices. In March 2021 she obtained a temporary contract as a housekeeper in an association. This is a job she does not wish to disclose to the people around her. She refuses to say what she does for a living and explains that when asked about her activity, she mentions that she is at university where she is training to be a doctor. She also uses her free time to visit Roma camps in Reims to raise awareness of women's education among families. A presence that is often not appreciated by the families living in her camps.

Analysis of the initiative and individual story
She meets her story by depersonalising herself. She feels that her life story is not a success because she is not doing the job she always wanted. She talks about her dream of being a surgeon. Even if her husband tries to make her understand that she has nevertheless succeeded in integrating into French society, she looks at herself as a failure, because being a cleaning lady means not having a social status. According to her, "what is the point of working if you can't even boast about your work? "This questioning remains for my interlocutor a point which for her makes her think that she has not totally succeeded in her integration

Results and Impact
Thanks to this integration through work, my interlocutor was able to learn the French language. However, this inclusion in French society does not give her great satisfaction. She feels that if her parents had sent her to school she would have been able to do the job of her choice. Today she is involved with an association that enables young women to go to school to get the job they want. She tells her story, but most of the time she is not accepted in her camps.
