Off the beaten path trail 

Improving literacy and digital literacy skills through walking trails

Flyer for a Dublin walking tour on July 10th, 10-11:30am, starting at Dublin Adult Learning Centre, featuring local history stories.

The project partners were:

  • Henrietta adult and community education centre

  • Gateway project

  • Cork learning city

  • Learning neighbourhoods

About this project

This project improved literacy and digital skills by teaching learners how to develop walking trails in the North Inner City. It also aimed to help learners appreciate local history and hidden gems in the area.

More about this project

Learners attended a local history course. They also took part in a walking trail in the South Inner City, which inspired them to design their own trails.

Participants picked hidden gems to feature in the trails. They also designed a map and researched the history of key buildings. These activities helped them develop valuable literacy, digital and communications skills.
