We offer one-day modules for school groups at Glencree to share some of our learning in a range of different areas. These  are suitable for Transition Year students but can also be adapted to other age groups. Students have an opportunity to learn skills and explore different themes under the broad heading of ‘Peace Education’ in activity based workshops. Our facilitators are experienced in working with young people and we prioritise their safety while  offering a positive learning experience.  The duration of these workshops is approximately four and a half hours and lunch is available from our café.
