Welcome to the Involve CLG Training Centre

 

We place a strong emphasis on developing effective training courses that enhance a learner’s understanding of Traveller Culture and Identity, as well as create an awareness of how your service welcomes and interacts with members of the Traveller community who access it.

Involve provide various training options to suit your needs, whether facilitated in house at your organisation or business, in an online setting with one of our trainers, or on your own time through our training portal – get in touch to discuss the options available.

This programme is designed for Traveller and non-Traveller organisations and groups, as well as individuals.

Traveller Culture and Identity

This programme will be delivered to Travellers and non-Traveller organisations and groups in a range of ways over multiple formats including Irish Traveller led, in-person workshops, online workshops, an internet-based resource bank, a trainer manual and a self-study online course.
