Practitioner Workshop on the Transformative Power of Community Education for Lone Parents, 9 May

Posted on 22 Apr 2024

Following the launch of the latest CES research report “The Power of Community Education: Supporting lone parents to fulfil their potential in education, employment, and society’, CES is hosting an Online Workshop for Practitioners at 10.30 am – 12pm on Thursday, 9 May.

The aim of the Workshop is to share the research findings to inform practice and policy, particularly as it relates to community education as a powerful means to support lone parents to progress their education and achieve positive outcomes for themselves and their children.

The event is designed for people working with and/or with an interest in community education as a support for lone parents or other vulnerable groups. This includes community education providers, practitioners/tutors, academics and other interested people.

The research was funded by Beachaire Fund/Community Foundation Ireland and drew on the experience of 8 community organisations delivering programmes to lone parents across Ireland, involving over 135 lone parent learner participants and over 50 educators and managers from the 8 organisations.

The research assets including an Executive Summary, Thematic Report and 8 Case Studies will be circulated to all participants.
