Welcome to our Adult and Community Education Programme (TASK) 

 

The Education programme in Southside Travellers has, for many years, been pivotal to the work of the organisation.  In January 2011, with support from our partners FAS, Dun Laoghaire VEC and Co. Dublin VEC, we initiated our TASK (Training, Awareness, Skills and Knowledge) Programme.  TASK is unique in many ways.  Focusing on the education and training needs of young Traveller adults and their settled counterparts, it aims to provide a specific and accredited programme leading to a major FETAC accredited award. Click here to download an overview of the new programme. Feel free to contact us if you require any additional information, or just call in and see us anytime.  Feel free to contact us if you require any additional information, or just call in and see us anytime.
