Aim
Our aim is to develop and implement training and support measures that increase the capacity of local community groups, youth workers, volunteers, staff, management and individuals interested in learning more about the Traveller Community.
The National Association of Travellers' Centres subscribes to the belief that education, formal or informal is paramount to the development of the individual and is critical to the integration and inclusion of members of the Traveller community in Irish society. To this end, NATC places a strong emphasis on the content and quality of its training.
