Children's voices: changing futures

Children's voices: changing futures presents the findings of 18 months of participatory research into the lives, views and experiences of young Gypsies and Travellers in the UK today. The project involved 148 children, aged from 5-13 years, who came from English Romany Gypsy, Irish Traveller and Showmen's communities and was funded by the Cambridgeshire Children's Fund. The research involved those living on sites, on roadside stopping places and those living in houses. It also included children who attended school, those who were home educated and those outside the education system. Documented through the words, photographs and artwork of those involved, Children's voices: changing futures explores issues of identity, accommodation, racism and learning.
