Participation by young Travellers in mainstream youth services and programmes is influenced by a number of factors. This research project is an important opportunity to gain a more informed insight into these factors.
The survey will involve youth organisations and services at local, regional and national levels as well as Traveller specific projects.
The research has the intention to:
- Gain an insight into reasons for both the engagement and non-engagement of young Travellers: drawing on the first-hand experience of youth service providers, young Travellers and the Traveller community in general.
- Identify barriers to active participation and engagement, as well as factors that may encourage or facilitate more active participation.
- Make recommendations that can guide the development of more inclusive policy and practice into the future.
We are asking that you complete the survey by Friday June 23rd. If you have any queries, please contact Paul Butler at paul@nexus.ie.
Your help in completing the short survey would be very much appreciated.
