Young gypsy travellers have their work displayed
Challenging negative stereotypes of young people
Platform 51's Truth About Youth project, funded by The Co-operative Foundation, works with young people in six areas of Cardiff to challenge negative perceptions about young people and break down the barriers they face. One of the groups are young gypsy travellers from the Shirenewton site.
The group made a travelling book about their lives and the gypsy traveller community. The book challenges some the negative stereotypes that the group have faced. There has been some negative television coverage on the television about the gypsy traveller community
The group's book is being exhibited as part of Roma Gypsy Traveller History Month in the basement gallery of the Riverfront Theatre in Newport.
