About this project

This project addressed  unmet digital literacy and language needs by developing a digital nature walk around Loch an Inbhir.

More about this project

Learners took part in five weeks of nature and Irish language classes. They also attended nine weeks of digital classes through walks around Loch an Inbhir.

Participants explored local nature, wildlife, history, Irish  language  and proverbs, and used digital apps that enhanced their walking experience.

“I learned a lot at the phone classes and had great fun. I am very proud to be part of the group that brought the sign to the walk.” — quote from a learner
