About this project
This project delivered community-based literacy learning through libraries . Library staff and local services worked together to embed literacy in practical activities rather than using traditional classroom methods.
Ballyhoura Development carried out intensive outreach campaigns to recruit participants and ensure activities reached adults who experience barriers to learning.
More about this project
Delivery took place through a mix of
community education sessions,
workshops, and
information sessions.
Project partners hired tutors with specialist expertise to deliver the programme, which covered
creative writing,
family literacy,
health and well-being, and
financial information.
Learners also had access to one-to-one support and progression-focused engagement. This allowed participants to learn at a pace and level appropriate to their needs.
