The DIT Community Links Programme

The aim of the Community Links Programme is to help in the alleviation of educational disadvantage at local (inner-city Dublin), national and international levels. This is achieved through initiatives primarily directed at personal development including self esteem, confidence, motivation and empowerment of individuals and communities.

The programmes are located in the Primary, Secondary, Third level and Community Sectors. The issues concerned are the alleviation of absenteeism, prevention of dropout, increases in attainment in schools, return to education in communities and access to education for all.
