School visits

Poetry Ireland’s Writers in Schools Scheme offers school visits from writers & storytellers, (with support funding for schools). I have been a member of this great scheme for many years, having completed hundreds of one-off visits, as well as numerous multiple week residentials (including the Development Education through Literature Project – see Poetry Ireland website.)
