Intercultural Learning Project 

The Gaiety School of Acting is working with partners from Ireland, Germany and France to develop an exciting programme addressing interculturalism in our schools. Grow from Seeds aims to provide high quality learning opportunities tailored to meet the needs of teachers and pupils of primary schools. Through this project we also intend to challenge extremism through social cohesion and inclusion, active citizenship and empowerment and participation of pupils.

This project is supported by Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership

Summer Course Feedback 2019:

“One of the best summer courses I have attended in a long time.”

“Loved the ease with which the facilitator shared the activities – in a knowledgeable, fun but focused manner. So much fit into the 5 days, which will be great to introduce to the class.”

“It was practical and easy to follow, while giving clear information on the essential learning goals. We learned activities which any child can be part of, promoting inclusivity and kindness.”

“I think it is one of the best qualities we teach and should be in the classroom.”
