Training

'The training was excellent. I wasn't 100% committed pre-attendance, but the content, pitch and presentation was first class.'

'I had no knowledge of the Traveller community ... now I am more aware.'

'I'm sure Sherry could sell sand to the Arabs, but her knowledge, experience, realism and humour shine through.'

'Just to say how valuable I found the training, it was an excellent presentation of your work and knowledge.'

'I wanted to reiterate my thanks for such a useful and enlightening workshop - I wish it had gone on for longer!!'

'I was humbled by what I heard. It made me realise how much I take for granted and I am so grateful to have been given a real, if somewhat painful, insight into the quality of life of the Travellers.'

'Please give my thanks to Sherry for leading the workshop - she was an inspiration.'

'I had received some training regarding some Travellers in the past but it was nothing like as informative as your workshop, thank you.'

Conferences

'I found the key speakers interesting and it was particularly good to hear directly from young people.'

'It inspired me to be proud of who I am as a Traveller. Also it makes me want to inspire other people to be proud to know Travellers and to realise how empowered young Travellers are.'

'This conference has made me rethink my way of working with and engaging young Travellers.'

'Thank you ... I have learned a lot today about a subject I know NOTHING about.'

'Improved our network of knowledge and thinking around providing fair and accurate coverage of issues affecting Gypsies and Travellers.'

You can see other comments from young Travellers at our Travelling Towards Inclusion Conference which took place on 24th April 2007 on the Cyberpilots website.

Children's Voices Exhibition Loan

`What a lovely display.'

`I love the display!'(8 year old)

`Good to hear the children's voices.'

`What a fantastic way to get everyone to understand how Romanies and Travellers connect with the contemporary world.'

`The children's display was moving and very thought-provoking - a lot of adults would do well to take their comments to heart and think about it.'

`Loved the drawings - some very fine artists! Also a good way of getting a message across! Fantastic!!'

`Wonderful artwork.'

`Lovely display. Very thought-provoking messages. Some profound statements from some intelligent youngsters. I hope the future is more comfortable emotionally. A lot of learning required for non-Travellers.'

`Lovely kids, very bright and happy.'

`I was so pleased that members of the Traveller community were here - a fantastic opportunity for the local community to see and meet the `real' people rather than someone speak for them. A beautiful display area too.'

`The display was very informative and interesting - I liked the children's own words that told their own story.'

`Great display and very helpful and friendly staff.'

`Fantastic exhibit featuring lively engaged children - wonderful photos, great artwork. Worthy of support. Well done.'

`An excellent presentation helping us all to understand the Travellers culture better, and for Travellers to know that we are aware of and respect their culture.'

`You've really told and shown us such a lot about your lives on the road.'

`A ray of light in an often overcast disenfranchised community, brilliant.'

`Amazing work by young people need to see more very well done.'

`An excellent, bright and exciting display with voices that should be heard.'

`Absolutely brilliant. I'd like to see more.'

`Well done kids, very proud of you all.' (A mum)

`Great pictures, loads of happy faces, hope we will see some more of this kind of work soon.'

`Fantastic and Inspirational.'

`The girl who says `I'd like my friends to come round and play with me but their parents won't let them' speaks volumes.'
