Come and join St Stephens Primary School Preston’s Live Zoom Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History month assembly!

Wednesday, Jun 26, 2024, 14:30

St Stephen’s Primary School in Preston couldn’t be prouder of their Gypsy, Roma and Traveller students and families.

Every year the school’s Traveller community work alongside other staff and students at the school to plan and deliver a special assembly to mark Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History month and to celebrate the rich history and culture that Travellers bring to the school.

This year, for the first time ever, St Stephens would love to share their assembly with you and your school community too!

You don’t have to be in Preston, or even in Lancashire, because St Stephens are going to broadcast the whole assembly on Zoom so that people from all over the world have the opportunity to share and celebrate or even learn something new about this often-overlooked community.

So whether you have a GRT population in your school or not, why not get your class or even your whole school together and use the opportunity to come and enjoy watching St Stephens’ Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month assembly?

To book your spot on the Zoom call, follow this link https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwpcu2tqzorGtL0j75WmL5TYFb8D303tyBW#/registration and sign up for the Zoom broadcast!

A hybrid conference celebrating the benefits, opportunities and challenges of multi-generational family lives

Friday 9th February 2024

9-30 to 4-00pm

The Glass Tank, Abercrombie, Oxford Brookes University, Gipsy Lane, Headington, Oxford OX3 0BP

Please note: You will find it difficult to park vehicles near the campus, but Oxford has three excellent Park and Ride Car Parks on the outskirts. Bus 400 runs between Thornhill Park and Ride every 10 minutes with buses stopping directly at Headington Brookes.

Buses stop at B4 and B5 by the Main Entrance to the Gipsy Lane Site. The Glass Tank is in the Abercrombie Building, left at the top of the Piazza, after the Colonnade Store building.

Further details and booking.

Gypsy, Roma and Traveller families often comprise three or four generations living together or close by. Traditions and culture, skills and trades, music and story, financial and emotional support transfer between them. Schools that succeed in including Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils in one generation continue to work well with succeeding generations of the extended family.

Our conference will give participants an opportunity to share and discuss how intergenerational life works for them, how it is experienced by different generations and the challenges posed by contemporary society.

Oxford Brookes is the home of the RIBA studio which is a practice-based route to qualification as an Architect. Its programme director is ACERT member Maria Faraone, and we plan to incorporate content from course participants into the day.

We hope the day will be advertised around all the Oxford colleges, so students with Gypsy, Roma and Traveller heritages, and those who want to support our campaign for equal rights can meet us and learn more about what ACERT does.
