Waterford Leader Partnership CLG is delighted to support the fantastic “Walk in My Shoes” exhibition by the Dungarvan Traveller Health Project.

This inspiring exhibition celebrates Traveller Pride, Culture, Heritage, Family, Identity, Community, Tradition, Resilience and Connection through a series of creative art pieces designed and produced by members of the Traveller community.

The project highlights the importance of understanding, inclusion and recognising the rich contribution that the Traveller community makes to life in Waterford. The creativity, skill and personal stories reflected in each piece encourage us all to take a moment to “walk in someone else’s shoes” and see the world from a different perspective.

A huge congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this wonderful exhibition to life. We are proud to support initiatives that promote equality, respect, community participation and cultural awareness.

The exhibition is on display at Dungarvan Library, and all are encouraged to visit and experience this powerful celebration of Traveller identity and pride.
