The PATH 5 Student Partner Programme is for students in higher education institutions in the Leinster Pillar 1 cluster who wish to be involved in highlighting the needs and barriers faced by Traveller and Roma students and evaluating the current student supports available to students. The student partners work in partnership with the Traveller & Roma Access Officer to strive for creating a learning environment that encourages increased inclusion and participation of Traveller and Roma students in higher education.
The student partner role is primarily focused on active participation in student partner meetings and the PATH 5 advisory group meetings. The PATH 5 Advisory Group oversees and advises on the overall direction and approach of the PATH 5 project.
Fostering the ‘See One to Be One’ role model approach, our student partners are also involved in various outreach programmes. This includes work across the university, with school groups, and local and/or national Traveller and Roma organisations and community groups.
