Great resources for celebrating GRTHM
Resources for schools.
The Gypsy Roma Traveller Achievement Service in Leeds (GRTAS) has a range of resources that are great for raising awareness of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) cultures in the learning environment.
These resources will also help teachers, schools, youth groups and other learning establishments, who celebrate Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month in June and include these materials in the curriculum for all children.
These resources not only inform learners of the rich and diverse of Travelling communities but they help make Traveller children, and their parents, feel welcomed into the learning environment. GRTAS has produced many posters, postcards and DVDs for such purposes, and to celebrate Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month that takes place nationally every June.
