Gypsy Roma Traveller Workshops for Schools
The Gypsy Roma Traveller Achievement Service (GRTAS) are very pleased to offer excellent workshops for schools. They provide an exciting opportunity for schools to promote their equality, diversity and community cohesion agendas through the arts. These artists and performers offer skills and talents which have inspired many children and will have a major impact on your school. This work can be an exciting introduction to the GRT communities and help the school plan how best to celebrate Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month in June each year.
