Culture And Memory

Gypsy /Traveller Heritage Project

This project aims to delve into the rich cultural heritage of the Gypsy Traveller community by employing storytelling and forum theatre as innovative engagement tools. By investigating the historical background of the Gypsy Traveller community, the project aspires to highlight the importance of this heritage and safeguard its identity. The forum theatre aspect is specifically designed to foster a deeper comprehension of the community's traditions and the obstacles its member’s encounter. As a vibrant theatrical form, forum theatre encourages unity among participants, motivating them to share their cultural stories and raise awareness. This project will tackle critical issues such as discrimination and equality, providing a nurturing environment for participants to express their cultural experiences while empowering the broader community.
