Norfolk GRT Service have developed some resources for this years GRTHM theme of ‘What Does Family Mean to You?’
These include creating a family crest with Children and Young People (CYP) in schools and exploring poetry, creating poems that share the meaning of family with others.
Information about these resources can be found in the ‘Celebrations, Displays and Assemblies’ section on their GRT Cultural Resources padlet.
Come and join St Stephens Primary School Preston’s Live Zoom Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History month assembly!
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?
Chatteris Museum (Cambs) is currently in partnership with OneVoice4Travellers, exploring the embedded histories of Travellers in the Chatteris area, running from March 2024 to the end of the year. I attach details of our pop-up in June that may be of interest. Other free activities will be happening over the summer. The project will be on display in the Museum from September.
