A collection of recipes and stories by Traveller women
This project tackled unmet literacy needs among homeless and disabled adults. It provided a safe and relaxing space at the Doon Social farm in Limerick. Facilitators used unique teaching methods that avoided restrictive classroom settings.
The project ran from September to November 2023. 19 learners split into three groups. Tutors used the great outdoors to help groups relax and have fun. Learners took part in sign-making exercises and engraved phrases and affirmations into wood. Each learner also received one-on-one tuition.
Learning outcomes were very positive. Participants say their reading, writing, and math skills noticeably improved thanks to this course. Exposure to fresh air, nature, and healthy eating helped restore their confidence as well.
