Animation for Wales

The Romani Cultural and Arts Company have been awarded a grant from BBC Children in Need to bring award winning animation company Cinetig to the Shirenewton site near Cardiff. 

This project will allow young Gypsies and Travellers to research their own culture, develop a sense of pride in that culture as we demonstrate its importance to us as outsiders by committing it to film. In the process we hope that they will become less tolerant of discrimination as they recognise their own value and self worth.

Naturally the BBC have also featured the project on their website. A page on their website features a film made previously with Gypsy children in west Wales.
