This project aims to scope out the development of an accredited Traveller culture and Identity programme over a 3 day facilitated workshop with 6 partners, who are in agreement that this action is necessary. The partners are Youth Work Ireland, Youth Action Northern Ireland, Rural Media UK, Norsensus (Norway), Pavee Point , (Ireland) and An Muine Tobar (Northern Ireland). The project will addresses the need for accurate and up to date educational material regarding the Traveller Culture and Identity and was decided on as a result of a) requests from statutory and voluntary bodies over the years to Traveller organisations seeking clarification on what exactly is Traveller Culture and Identity and b) the participation of some of the partners working with young people from the Traveller Community in an Cooperation and Innovation for Good Practices Erasumus project. The project will host a 3 day workshop whereby the partners will have the opportunity to engage in a structured process to agree what an interactive, informative, historical and contemporary Traveller Culture and Identity programme would look like.
