“Travellers should travel” You know what, this is who I am” Check out this beautiful new video from Voice of the Traveller Magazine. Irish Travellers speaking honestly and openly about their experience of growing up - bullying, discrimination, racism and exclusion – but also about their hopes, dreams and ambitions for the future, and pride in who they are and where they come from. https://youtube/watch?v=COa4n3DtxRA Please read our articleTravellers Should Travel – The Forked Tongue Behind The Gag by Demien Le Bas (part of our collaboration with Travellers Times) which discusses this much debated topic within the UK: Travellers who do move around, and therefore cannot be trusted; or those who stop moving and become a permanent fixture in one place, and who are then mocked for thinking they still have a culture at all. (…) Should there even be a question of what makes a traveller a traveller, what keeps us together? - Whether you are discussing Romani people or anyone else, to pretend that ethnic groups who have historically been known as “Travellers” have only one such “binding force”- the act of travelling- makes as much sense as saying that Italians are defined by being in Italy, and that as soon as they step out of the country, they cease to be Italian. https://romediafoundation.wordpress/2014/04/24/travellers-should-travel-the-forked-tongue-behind-the-gag/
