In collaboration with Forward Steps Family Resource Centre’s Traveller Women’s group, members of the Travelling community in Tullow, Co. Carlow commenced a Level 6 Certificate in Learning to Learn at Third Level with SETU Lifelong Learning Carlow in January 2023. 

To support students in completing their academic assignments, a five-week study group is being facilitated in their centre through funding awarded by the N-TUTORR fellowship programme.  

This study group will provide students with a safe, facilitated space to support and guide them in completing their academic assignments in response to a need identified by the group through their engagement in reflective practice throughout the course. In addition, it will support students to progress to future third level educational opportunities.
