Reviews from teachers

“This has been my most enjoyable and productive and inspiring summer course. I thoroughly enjoyed each day which makes a change from the usual summer courses. I also learned so many practical and useful skills and activities. We had a very nice group, the perfect number of people. Needless to say , it was a privilege to learn in the beautiful UCC campus.”

“Most enjoyable and educational, really an exceptional course, that every teacher would benefit from. It literally opens your eyes to the scope of work possible in a classroom. It would enrich everyone.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Really well facilitated. Such a lovely change from the typical online courses. Format was interesting & engaging. Would highly recommend!”

“I feel that this course has given me a new platform from which to start ideas, lessons, projects that is far more encompassing than just an art lesson. The resources, aids, toolkits, among so many ideas are mind- blowing. I am so enthusiastic about new ventures…”
