Adult Education Service Swords and Balbriggan delivers a vibrant, multi-strand Community Education programme within the Fingal catchment area. Community education plays a key role in personal empowerment, citizenship and social inclusion. It improves self-confidence, enhances civic participation, and allows individuals an opportunity to take their first step back to further education and training.
Courses that may initially seem like “Hobby” courses have a much greater role in community enhancement. Courses such as Gardening can lead to the creation of a community garden/general area where the whole community have an opportunity to gain enjoyment from the skills learned by students on such a course.
