Social Inclusion Week - Hot Chocolate and Storytelling
This is a video of a recent Storytelling / Hot Chocolate event we did at
school as part of the Galway City Galway County Social Inclusion Week 2017.
This was funded with the kind grant from the City/County Inclusion Office.
The grant allowed us to pay for a bus to welcome the students and teachers
from the local direct provision centre for asylum seekers pre-school to
visit our school, Claddagh National School on October 18, 2017. The
children from the Eglinton Hotel joined the children from our onsite pre
and after school programme run by the wonderful Olivia O'Reilly to enjoy
meeting each other, listening to stories and having hot chocolate!
The children had a fantastic time making new friends and learning some fun
new games together!
