"The teacher taught us many new things. Very good class.” Quote from participant
This project worked with parents to deliver a community response to unmet literacy needs. It made it easier for learners to access technology and devices. Classes took place in the Ballyhaunis Family Resource Centre between September and December 2023.
60 parents from foreign backgrounds attended conversational English classes, arts and crafts workshops, and drawing classes. Tutors and retired school teachers taught two groups twice a week and 40 classes in total.
This project allowed parents from marginalized communities to make the most of learning opportunities in their area. Course work inspired learners to enhance their personal development and strengthen their relations with family and local communities.
