About this project

A training course has been developed for practitioners working with children and young people from Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities (GRT), seeking to improve service experiences for this group and enhance understanding among youth workers. Co-developed with young people from GRT communities and a collaboration between the National Youth Agency (NYA) and community interest company Open Doors Education and Training (ODET), the two-module course is designed for youth workers or those studying youth work. One module covers communities, myths, stereotypes and rights-based practice and the second advises on best-practice approaches and provides a toolkit to those working with GRT young people, seeking to address key barriers to this group taking part in youth services.
