Inclusive digital learning
STEP is a national knowledge exchange centre supporting equitable access to education for nomadic communities. We are funded by Scottish Government Equalities and Human Rights and Learning Directorates. We have three activity streams, each with the aim of improving outcomes for Gypsy/Traveller and Roma communities in education: Community intervention programmes, policy influence, and professional learning.
STEP coordinates the Traveller Education Network, TENET (Scotland), a professional learning community for educators working with traditionally nomadic communities. STEP hosts a programme of networking and training events for TENET members.
