Friends, Families and Travellers (FFT) has launched the theme for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month (GRTHM) 2026 and has extended.
Individuals and groups of children are invited to create collages expressing their dreams and aspirations, and the future they want to build together.
‘Onwards with Hope’.
This year, GRTHM will be focusing on present and future Romany Gypsy, Roma, Irish Traveller, New Traveller, Showmen and Liveaboard Boater aspirations and dreams, and what kind of future we want to build together.
As part of the festivities, we’re asking schools and children create a collage surrounding this year’s theme of ‘Onwards with hope’, looking at what hope means, how we can continue to foster hope, and what we want the future to look like.
Pupils and groups of students could win up to £100 worth of book vouchers for submissions. The deadline for submission is 12th June.
A photo of your collage should be sent to comms@gypsy-traveller.org by 12th June. We’ve created a double page spread with some inspiriation to help you get started. Click here.
