Schools Outreach

We do our best to provide tailored school talks and workshops to educate children and young people on the issues affecting people seeking protection, such as:
Understanding the meaning of ‘refugee’ and ‘asylum seeker’ Current world affairs relating to refugees Understanding persecution What life is like for a person seeking protection in Ireland
As we are quite a small team we may not always be able to meet requests but can refer you to local organisations working in your area who may be able to facilitate a school talk for you if we are unable. We ask for a small donation of €50 for our school visits.
Email us to organise a talk
