Welcome to A Gypsy’s Wish!

A Gypsy’s Wish is the name given to an exciting drama project that began life in 2002. Made in response to the issues facing young Romany Travellers today and a general need for greater understanding between the Traveller and non-Traveller communities, A Gypsy’s Wish was created to enlighten its makers, participants, and all who view it.

After the final formal showing in 2005, the project was deemed such a success that this website was planned in order to provide a long standing teaching tool and information centre. On here you will find all aims, methods, resources and outcomes of A Gypsy’s Wish. It is hoped that this website will allow others to learn from - and perhaps develop their own – projects, building on the great work already done.
