HOW TO APPLY
Please send Expressions of Interest to us at [email protected] by 30 April.
Just email us a paragraph or two, telling us about your group and what your interest is. Ideally you will have an idea for a project that you can work on in May / June. Also ideally, we would like 2 of your group to attend the programme (for mutual support while learning).
We will inform selected groups by Thurs 2 May.
Training is free of charge and takes place in Ennis on Fri 10 May, Thurs 6 June, Sat 29 June (full day 10.30 – 4pm). This is hands-on training with online support between sessions. Last year’s participant feedback strongly favoured this mix of in-person and online.
Recorders and headphones are provided free of charge for participant groups to keep.

Apply by e mailing us at [email protected] telling us in a paragraph or two about your group and why you would like to do this training. Deadline Tue 30 April.
