GTM
works from a community development approach, and our work to address
disadvantage, poverty and the social exclusion experienced by the Traveller
Community is underpinned by a commitment to participation, empowerment and
collective action.
GTM's work has always been
rooted in an understanding of, and respect for, the distinct culture and ethnic
identity of the Traveller community. It is important that the official
recognition of Traveller ethnicity is translated into tangible improvements in
the situation and experience of the Traveller community.
