Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month
Every June since 2008, people across the UK have come together to celebrate Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month (GRTHM).
Published:
This month provides a powerful opportunity to celebrate the rich histories, cultures and contributions of Gypsy, Roma, Traveller, Showfolk and Boater (GRTSB) communities. Through celebration, education and raising awareness, GRTHM plays a key role in challenging prejudice, amplifying GRTSB voices, and reshaping public understanding.
You may not realise that some of your peers, lecturers and friends are part of these communities. That’s why visibility and recognition matter. At the University of Surrey, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment for all. Ensuring equity of opportunity and experience for our current and future GRTSB students and staff is an essential part of this mission.
To mark GRTHM, we’ve developed a range of resources, events and guidance to help everyone learn more and get involved. Find out more about GRTHM nationally
