A LIMERICK primary school is one of fifteen primary schools across Ireland set to take part in a DCU initiative aimed to help students and teachers to lead programmes that address societal challenges.
Corpus Christi Primary School in Moyross has joined DCU’s initiative entitled DCU Changemaker Schools Network. The aim of the initiative is to grow the network so to enable primary and post primary secondary schools across the country to participate.
One of the coordinators of the project, Fiona Collins, said, “The DCU Changemaker Schools Network (DCU CMSN) is a new initiative in Irish education, seeking to support innovative schools.”
